Summer conditions influence a camellia's future display. Check the root ball during dry weather rather than moving the pot repeatedly between sun, shade and evening dew.
Shade
Choose a suitable, reasonably stable summer position with light and shelter appropriate to the camellia. Check moisture in the root ball during dry weather while buds are developing.
Spraying and moisturizing
Water in summer should be watered to keep the humidity inside the basin. It can usually spray water on the leaf surface, basin surface, and the surrounding ground, which can not only cool down, but also maintain humidity. Entering summer, pay attention to controlling watering to promote the formation of flower buds. Remind everyone not to use cold water to pour the roots of the plant directly under the condition of high temperature loss to prevent the root of the root.
Long soil control
Avoid cutting healthy camellia roots simply to slow vigorous shoots. Review the plant's position, pruning and existing feeding routine before trying to change flowering through root damage or repeated foliar nutrient sprays.
Branches and cutting
Excessive flower buds will affect the growth of the second year, and the quality of flowering will decrease. Therefore, after August, dense buds and deformity flower buds should be removed. The diseased and insect branches, long branches, and dense branches should be trimmed in time to reduce nutritional consumption and maintain ventilation.
Prevent sickness
Inspect the camellia to identify the actual problem before treatment. Use an appropriate product authorised for the plant and situation, following its label; the earlier chemical name and dilution were not sufficiently clear.
