As people's quality of life improves, more and more people like to grow some flowers and plants at home, and colorful camellia is deeply loved by people. So is colorful camellia cold-resistant? How to care for colorful camellia in winter? Let's take a look.

Is the colorful camellia cold-resistant?

Camellias usually bloom after winter, and this season is their flowering period. Camellias have strong cold resistance and are not greatly affected by general frost and snow.

How to care for colorful camellia in winter

1. Temperature

If you want the camellia to grow better, the growth temperature must be controlled at 18-25℃. Too high or too low temperature will affect its growth. When the temperature is high in summer, you must pay attention to sun protection to avoid burning the branches and leaves due to excessive temperature. When the temperature is low in winter, you can move it indoors and let it receive appropriate light when there is sunshine during the day.

2. Watering

A humid environment can make camellia grow better. In spring and summer, you can water it more appropriately, and in winter, you should water it less appropriately. Generally, water it once every 2-3 days. Always ensure that the soil is not too dry or too wet.

3. Fertilization

Don't forget to fertilize it when raising it. You can apply appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the growth period, which can make it grow better and bloom more luxuriantly, but be careful not to apply too much fertilizer.

4. Pruning

Pruning can help camellia grow better. It is best to prune when the flower buds are too dense. Generally, weak branches and diseased branches should be cut off. This can help it absorb nutrients better. After the flowers wither, they should be cleaned up in time to reduce nutrient consumption.

5. Repotting

Generally, the pot should be changed once after one year of cultivation. It is best to use a larger pot when changing the pot, which will be more conducive to the growth of the roots. The best time to change the pot is April. During the process, some old roots can be appropriately removed, and some base fertilizer can be added and watered appropriately.

Precautions for cultivation of colorful camellia

1. The environment where the camellia is located must have good light to avoid affecting the occurrence of bud drop;

2. Ensure the normal circulation of air. In high-temperature weather, you can open the windows for necessary ventilation;

3. Keep the camellia leaves clean. If there is dust on the leaves, you need to clean them in time to avoid affecting the growth of the camellia;

4. Appropriate watering. Dry air is extremely detrimental to the growth of camellia, so you should regularly spray water around the camellia or on the leaves to maintain the humidity required for the growth of camellia;
