How to mix camellia soil with potted camellia soil and its preparation method

Preparation requirements of camellia soil

Camellia is a common flower in warm areas of southern China, which is suitable for landscaping. Camellia likes to grow in fertile, loose, slightly acidic and breathable soil.

Therefore, when we mix soil for camellia, the ph value of the prepared soil should be controlled between 4.5 and 6.5. Humus soil bought from the market cannot be directly used to grow camellia, and it needs to be mixed with other soils to dilute fertility before use.

How to match camellia soil

1. Suitable soil for camellia growth: river sand or cinder 1 part, garden soil or mountain soil 2 parts, bone meal about 1% or calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer about 2%, which are mixed and balanced according to soil volume.

2. Coconut bran and humus soil have strong air permeability and water permeability and are not easy to accumulate water. Therefore, when preparing camellia soil, about 10% coconut bran or humus soil can be added, which can not only ensure the nutrients needed for camellia growth, but also ensure that the soil is moist and does not accumulate water.

Matters needing attention in soil preparation of Camellia oleifera

1. The prepared camellia soil should be weakly acidic, not alkaline, or moist. Otherwise, it is not conducive to the growth of camellia, and it is easy to cause yellowing of leaves, few flowers or no flowers, and serious root rot and death will occur.

2. The prepared camellia soil can be directly used. Before transplanting camellia, it should be dried and disinfected to avoid being eaten by insects. At the same time, some soils can not be reused, which will lead to the decline of fertility, the occurrence of pests and diseases, and affect the growth of camellia.
