Camellia is a plant that prefers moisture, so it needs to be watered frequently, but the amount of water must also be controlled. Usually in summer, watering should be done in the morning or evening, not at noon, otherwise the water will easily evaporate, causing the ground temperature to drop. In winter, because of the cold climate, watering at noon is more suitable. If you water too much, you need to drain the water in time, loosen the soil appropriately, and maintain good ventilation.

1. Watering time

1. Watering time

Camellias need to be watered all year round. In order to ensure that water is well absorbed, you must pay attention to the timing of watering. Usually in summer when the temperature is high, watering should be done in the morning and evening, not at noon, otherwise the water will evaporate quickly, causing the ground temperature to drop and affecting root development. In winter, because the temperature is relatively low, watering should be done at noon. A warmer environment will also help absorb water.

2. Control the amount of water

Camellia It is a plant that likes moisture, so it needs to be watered frequently, but the amount of water should not be too large, otherwise it will easily lead to root rot. Usually, water it thoroughly after the soil is dry, so as to ensure sufficient moisture without affecting its growth. In summer, you can water it every day, and you can also spray water around it to increase the air humidity. In winter, water should be watered according to room temperature, usually once every 3 days, just keep the soil moist.

3. Water quality and temperature

Camellia It is not good for growth in a neutral or alkaline environment, and it cannot be poured with alkaline water. It needs to be acidified. Generally, an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate should be added, and the concentration should not exceed 0.5%. You can use river water or rainwater. If you want to pour tap water, you need to let it sit for 1-2 days and wait for the chlorine to evaporate before using it. When watering in winter, be sure to pay attention to the water temperature. Do not water directly with cold water. Just wait until the water temperature is consistent with room temperature.

4. What to do if you water too much

< p>If you water the camellia too much, it will not only affect the growth of the plant, but also cause root rot and death in severe cases. Usually, the excess water needs to be drained first, and then the plants should be placed in a well-ventilated place, and the soil should be loosened appropriately to accelerate the evaporation of water in the soil. If water has accumulated for a period of time, remove the plant from its pot and check whether the roots are rotten. Cut off the rotten roots and replant them in dry soil.
