What to do if camellia buds dry up in winter in the north? How to maintain camellia and increase air humidity

Camellia is a flower with high ornamental value. It has a beautiful plant shape, bright leaves with good glossiness, and colorful flowers. Common colors include red, yellow, white, etc. Many northern flower lovers find that camellia buds dry up in winter. What's going on?

What to do if camellia buds dry up in winter in the north

In the winter in the north, there is heating in every room, and the indoor temperature is suitable for the growth and flowering of camellia. The problem is that the indoor air is too dry, which can easily cause the stems, leaves or buds to dry up.

So you need to spray mist water once every three days. Spraying around the camellia will help increase the humidity of the environment.

After the camellia blooms, you should reduce the light appropriately, because too much light will shorten the flowering period.

How to increase air humidity when caring for camellia

The indoor air in the north is relatively dry, and camellia likes humid air. You can create it artificially by placing the camellia potted plant on a shallow basin that is wider than the camellia pot. Pour water into the shallow basin, and add water if there is less water. Put a brick on the shallow basin, the brick should be higher than the water, and then put the camellia potted plant on the brick. This will increase the air humidity. At the same time, you can spray water mist on the tea leaves 2 to 3 times a day, but don't spray too much, so as not to drip into the soil and make it too wet. Just spray the leaves. If the flower buds are big, don't spray them, the camellia will wilt when it touches water.

How to prevent and control camellia pests and diseases

Camellia must be protected from pests and diseases. The main pests of camellia during the bud stage are aphids and rust mites. Toothworms can be killed by spraying 1000 times diluted 40% omethoate emulsifiable concentrate. Rust mites can be killed by spraying 50 grams of laundry detergent, 10 milliliters of diesel and 10 liters of water in a ratio of 100 grams, stirring evenly and spraying.
