Principles of soil use

When growing camellias in pots, soil selection is very important. First, we must ensure that it is loose and breathable, has good drainage and is rich in organic matter.

Generally, when arranging soil, you should pay attention to keeping the ingredients simple and not too complicated. In the early stages, the roots must be nurtured first. Only when the roots are well nurtured can the plant grow well.

Please note that the root system of camellias is not suitable for large fertilizers. Generally, newly purchased camellias need to be treated with plain soil.

What are the options?

Generally in When choosing soil, you can choose cinders and soak them in water for a period of time.

You can dig some yellow sand and red sand in the mountains. You can also dig some plain soil, which is soil that has not been planted with anything. Pine needle soil can also be used, just dig some under the pine tree and bring it back.

After preparing the soil, do not mix it in a hurry, store it separately.

Preparation method

Mix sawdust, plant ash and fertilizer, then water it thoroughly and let it decompose. It will take about 6-8 months. When it is decomposed and fermented, it needs to be turned every month. Once, sprinkle water appropriately.

After it is decomposed, add yellow sand and other materials to mix, and then continue to decompose.

Secondly, you can also mix the yellow sand with pine needles and cinders, bag them and decompose them. It will take a longer time to be fully decomposed, usually about a year before it is fully decomposed. However, the soil contains sufficient nutrients and is loose, which is very conducive to the growth of the root system of camellias.

Secondly, you can also directly choose soil dedicated to Clivia for cultivation.
