Introduction: Four seasons of rhododendron camellia, which is a kind of camellia, its biggest advantage is to be able to bloom in all seasons, and as long as the temperature is above 15 degrees, whether it is placed indoors or outdoors, the flowers bloom uninterruptedly, stubble after stubble.
However, if it is maintained in the northern region, it must not be maintained in the open air in winter, and at the same time, it should be moved indoors to keep warm before the frost falls, so as to avoid frostbite on the roots and affect the quality of flowering in the later stage. In addition, the leaves of the rhododendron camellia are very similar to the leaves of the rhododendron, so you must not make a mistake when purchasing. In the matter of maintaining rhododendron camellias, it is also necessary to master certain skills to be able to bloom in all seasons.
Point 1, the four seasons of rhododendron camellia flowers like light and shade
Four seasons of rhododendron camellia does not like too wet and dark environment, in the daily maintenance of the need to be placed outdoors full of bathing light, due to the difference in the climate of the north and south, so there are some differences in maintenance, which is mainly reflected in the summer and winter.
The climate in the south is warm as spring in all seasons, the temperature is relatively stable, while the climate in the north is similar to that in the south in spring and autumn, but when the temperature can soar to more than 35 degrees in the summer, such high temperature weather is particularly unfavorable to the growth or flowering of camellias, so in the summer must learn to shade, place it on the indoor window sill to avoid the strong light at noon.
On the contrary, because the winter is too cold often has a lack of light, so in the winter there will be symptoms of no flowering, a large number of leaves, so it is best to stabilize the temperature above 10 degrees Celsius to avoid frostbite on the stem and roots.
The second point is that topdressing should be timely
Camellias want to bloom more must be timely fertilizer, the general flowering period can be extended from May to October, if the improper maintenance of the basics to August will be all withered. Therefore, after entering the autumn, many flower lovers choose to place it in a position with sufficient outdoor light, with sufficient nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to help accelerate metabolism and photosynthesis.
However, experienced flower lovers know that in order to keep flowering, in addition to ensuring that the temperature, humidity, and light are suitable, it is also necessary to regularly add a large amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to stimulate the differentiation of flower buds, but do not use nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise even if the buds grow, they will fall off abnormally. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a month is water-soluble fertilizer.
Point 3, proper water control
Camellia flowers like a slightly moist soil environment, but are not tolerant of waterlogging, so when watering, we must pay attention not to the symptoms of standing water, otherwise it is extremely unfavorable. We can wet the soil all at once in the spring and autumn, and then place it in a ventilated place to evaporate excess water.
But in the summer, the temperature is high, so we need to water it in the cooler evenings and let it sit overnight to drain the excess water, so as not to be exposed to high temperatures, which will generate a lot of heat and burn the roots. In addition, in the winter, remember to prevent frostbite, you need to put a thick layer of pine needles, perlite, etc. on the flower soil.
Point 4, the appropriate external environment
In addition to the above 3 points, we also need to pay attention to the quality of ventilation, especially in the autumn and winter when the indoor warmth, we must insist on opening the window every day to ventilate and let fresh air in, so that photosynthesis of the plant is particularly beneficial, but also to prevent the outbreak of bacteria or pests.
