Is the balcony not facing the sun suitable for raising camellia?

The balcony without sunrise is suitable for raising camellia!

Why? Because the growing camellia should be placed in a semi-shady environment, and the balcony that is not sunny is just such a semi-shady environment, so the camellia should not accept too strong direct sunlight. Especially in summer and autumn, it is necessary to shade the sun, so it is a very suitable choice to place camellia on the balcony where the sun is not shining.

Camellia is a beautiful plant with green leaves and bright flowers, which is cherished by the world horticultural community and is also a frequent visitor to ordinary people's homes and balconies. How to cultivate potted camellia?

The rationality of planting camellia on the balcony that is not sunny.

Basis: Camellia should be placed in a warm and humid place with ventilation and light transmission. There should be plenty of light in spring, and attention should be paid to shading in summer to avoid direct sunlight and exposure to western sunlight. If you put it on the balcony facing the sun, Camellia will get sunburned if you are not careful.

However, the balcony conditions that are not sunny are very suitable. Although it is not sunny, it does not mean that there is no light. As the name implies, the balcony is a bright place, but there is no direct sunlight. It is possible to grow camellia in such a place.

Let's talk about how to maintain camellia at ordinary times.

Watering conditions

The cultivation of camellia bonsai should keep the soil moist, but it should not be too wet to prevent dryness and wetness. Generally, water can be properly watered in spring to facilitate germination and budding.

In summer, insist on watering in the morning and evening, and it is best to spray water on the leaves to soak them. Don't pour it directly with urgent water, and don't fill it with water. It is not advisable to pour hot water, and avoid high temperature watering around noon. Water should be appropriate in autumn; It is advisable to water around noon in winter, and spray water every two or three days.

Temperature condition

The optimum temperature for camellia growth is 18-25℃, and the optimum temperature for camellia flowering is 10-20℃. Above 35℃, leaves will be burned.

Camellia is not cold-tolerant, so it should be indoors in winter, and the temperature should be kept at 3~5℃. It can also tolerate the low temperature of-10℃ for a short time, but it cannot exceed 16℃ for a long time, otherwise it will promote germination and cause defoliation.

Fertilization conditions

Camellia likes fertilizer, so we should pay attention to putting base fertilizer in the pot soil, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Fertilizers used include decomposed bone meal, hair, chicken feathers, chaff ash, poultry manure and calcium superphosphate.

Usually, it is not advisable to apply too much fertilizer. Generally, thin fertilizer water is applied 2-3 times in April-May after flowering, and a little thicker fertilizer is enough in autumn (165438+1October). When using fertilizer, we should pay attention to the proportion of phosphate fertilizer, so as to promote the colorful flowers.

Pruning condition

Camellia grows slowly and is not suitable for excessive pruning. Generally, long branches, pests and diseases and weak branches that affect the tree shape will be cut off.

If there are too many buds on each branch, only 1~2 can be thinned to keep a certain distance, and the rest can be picked as soon as possible to avoid consuming nutrients. In addition, it is necessary to pick flowers that are close to withering in time, which can also reduce nutrient consumption, which is conducive to the healthy growth of plants and the formation of new flower buds.

The experience of raising camellia has been greatly released: it is early August, and some measures can be taken to make camellia bloom during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period.

Camellia is generally not cold-tolerant, so delayed flowering is not commonly used. Generally, we will choose varieties, temperature control and hormone treatment to control flowering period.

If you want Camellia to bloom in the Eleventh Period, you can apply it to the bud with a 0. 1% Gibberella brush at the beginning of August, and apply it every three days 1 time to achieve normal fertilizer and water management. It depends on the growth of flower buds in September to decide whether to apply flower buds. If it is estimated that the "Eleventh" flowering is unsafe, we can increase the number of flower bud smearing, increase the amount of fertilizer and water, and promote the rapid growth of flower buds, so that we can see that camellia blooms in the "Eleventh".

abstract

Camellia can be cultivated on a balcony that is not sunny. In the process of cultivation, we must pay attention to the maintenance methods I mentioned above. These methods are all practical methods that I summed up when cultivating green flowers, so I should make good use of them.
