Don’t fertilize camellias when they are blooming, and must stop fertilizing. Fertilizing at this time can easily cause flowers to fall and affect the firmness of the flowers. It should be applied when budding occurs, and phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented in time. Only with sufficient nutrients can better growth and flowering occur. After the flowers bloom, pay attention to the lighting and get more sun. This can fix and preserve the flowers, and can effectively extend the flowering time. In addition, if the flower buds are too dense, pay attention to thinning out.

1. Can I apply fertilizer when blooming?

Camellia cannot be fertilized when blooming. Applying fertilizer at this time will easily cause the flowers to fall and affect the firmness of the flowers. Fertilization should be done before flowering, and just pay attention to the lighting after the flowers bloom. It should be placed in a place with better lighting and exposed to more sunlight so that it can perform photosynthesis better. This can fix and preserve the flowers and extend the flowering time. In addition, if a large number of flower buds are found, the buds should be thinned. Just cut off the bad flower buds, leaving only the good-growing ones, so that the nutrients can be concentrated.

2. What kind of fertilizer should be used for flowering?

It needs to be applied with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering, so as to meet the needs and supplement the required nutrients. When fertilizing, you should choose foliar fertilizer, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Just mix it with water and spray it on the leaves. Apply thin fertilizer frequently, preferably every half month. Fertilizer can also be applied directly near the roots. It is best to water a small amount after fertilization to speed up dilution, which will be easier to absorb and facilitate later flowering and growth.

3. Precautions during the flowering period

Pay attention to ventilation issues during its flowering period. Whether it is maintained indoors or outdoors, it must be well ventilated, otherwise it will be easily infected by insect pests and diseases. If diseased leaves or insect damage are found, spray pesticides promptly to avoid further deterioration.
