How to Make Camellias Bloom for Christmas

Normal flowering period

Under normal circumstances, the camellia of friends in the south will bloom a little later because they need to be kept indoors in the winter. Therefore, the indoor temperature in the north is a little higher than that in the south, so the flowering stage in the north is a little earlier. The flowering period of the entire plant is basically about one or two months, and each flower can bloom for about one or two weeks. The best time for flowers to bloom is from January to March.

Christmas Flowering Tips: Light and Temperature

This kind of flower requires long-term light exposure. If it can be exposed to sunlight for half a day every day, buds will appear quickly. If you want them to grow branches, the most suitable temperature is 18-25℃, but if you want to encourage them to bloom, the temperature should be kept at 10-20℃. Once the temperature exceeds 35℃, it will affect its growth and even cause leaf burns. If you want to keep them indoors in winter, you must pay attention to cooling down. If the temperature exceeds 16℃ for a long time, the leaves will fall off.

Christmas Flowering Tips: Watering and Fertilizing

This kind of flower has very strict requirements on the amount of fertilizer and water, and cannot grow in neutral or overly alkaline soil. Friends who plant it in the north must be careful not to directly water it with untreated alkaline water, as this will harm the plant. After the rice washing water has been left to stand for two days, it can be mixed with ferrous sulfate and used together. You can stop using fertilizer for one month at the beginning of autumn, and add a little fertilizer before flowering, so that the flowers can be big and bright, and the flowering period can be longer.

Okay, now you know how to control the flowering time of this flower. Friends who want to try it can try it boldly. If you think it is suitable, you can share it with other friends.
