Soil: Camellia oleifera has very low soil quality requirements. Generally, loose, fertile, acidic soil is sufficient. Moisture: During the growth period, a large amount of water is needed. Sufficient water absorption can lead to better growth, but the amount of water should not be too much. Nutrients: Nitrogen fertilizer is generally used as fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer can provide it with sufficient nutrients during its growth period. Light: It is suitable to give it full sun. Sufficient light can make the branches and leaves flourish and the fruits increase.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Camellia oleifera is a plant that is easy to maintain and does not have high requirements for soil quality. Generally, it is enough to prepare thicker acidic soil. Loose and fertile soil will be more conducive to its growth.

2. Moisture: Its demand for moisture will be higher , especially during its vigorous growth period, sufficient water supply can promote its better growth. However, the amount of water should not be too sufficient, as too much water will affect its growth.

3. Nutrients: During its growth period, nitrogen fertilizer is commonly used when fertilizing. Nitrogen fertilizer can provide plants with more adequate nutrients, making them grow stronger and more powerful.

4. Light: Adequate light is essential during the maintenance period and is suitable for full sun exposure. If the light absorption is insufficient, more branches and leaves will grow, but few fruits will be produced, and the oil production rate will be greatly reduced.

2. Breeding skills

1 2. Pruning: During planting, in order to ensure the seedling emergence rate, seedlings will be planted at a close distance. When they grow to about 20 centimeters, they need to be trimmed. Only one of three plants can be left. It is also necessary to prune wilted branches and leaves appropriately to promote their absorption of nutrients.

2. Propagation: Cuttings are commonly used, and the best time is in the summer. Select strong and plump branches, cut them into cuttings of about four centimeters, and dip them in some ABT rooting powder. When cutting, keep the cuttings upright and keep the spacing between the rows at about ten centimeters. Finally, water them and pay attention to shade. The cuttings will take root and sprout in about 60 days.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 , Root rot: The most common disease of cultivated Camellia oleifera is root rot. If not prevented in time, the roots will completely rot until they die. Use diluted copper sulfate to spray and disinfect the roots and soil.

2. Weevils: Weevils are very harmful to the growth of Camellia oleifera. You can use Centipede crystals diluted with water and sprayed to kill them.

IV. Other issues

1 , How to spend the winter: It likes to grow in a mild environment and is afraid of cold temperatures. During the breeding period, it is best to control the temperature at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Too low a temperature or frost will cause the flowers and fruits of the plants to fail.

2. Is it edible? Its seeds can be pressed into oil. The pressed oil is clear in color and has a very fragrant taste. It can be used as cooking oil.
