A beautiful camellia is the queen of home colors
This beautiful flower is known practically in all corners of the world where plants can live. Some are dreaming of raising it, but then retreat through their own wilfulness, having heard through other gardeners of the story of a book that this tiny merit can not tame to home life. And truly, a beautiful and proud plant, as evidenced by gorgeous photos, in nature, becoming almost a tree, at home, for some reason, begins to level and hurt. Nevertheless, there are enough examples of successful camellia feeding in four walls, and probably, to eat certain rules, following which it is permissible to disassemble for what you have at home to be due care of the camellia rather blossom not in the least horrible than about the blue sky. >

Изображение камелии и её сортаCamelia's homeland is called Japan, and more specifically, the peninsula of Okinawa, where this plant grows in front of a five-meter high (although the Japanese camellia can reach a height of 15 meters), having the shape of either a bush , or a tree. It is the basis of local forests, where it receives all the conditions necessary for growth and flowering without any loss. However, it is permissible to meet a camellia for Indochina, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Java and the islands of Sulawesi. The home-made camellia variation, of course, is not so high, but it also takes up a lot of space, so it is not advised to grow it in apartments with a small area. Its leaves have a rich green paint and a glossy look. The edges of the leaves are very sharp, hence it is better to turn with them carefully, so as not to cut yourself. About outdoor camellia show all his strength, growing into big shrubs and real trees

style="text-the align: justify;">The flowers are almost zavsegda lush, and in some species they can exist ordinary, others - terry. There are camellias with snow-white, pink, dark raspberry and other flowers. In other words, this flower is diverse, inimitable and always luxurious. However, educating him at home is not the usual thing, but if you succeed, you can begin to witness the wonderful winter flowering camellia, which can last up to three months. At this time the plant is almost entirely covered with flowers and is a unique representation.
Camellia has an amazing external appearance during flowering, but the flowers of the vast majority of species do not have a flavor, due to rare exceptions.
And in order to find out the relative to this exception, it is necessary to discern the main camelia that is grown at home. And this, first, the Japanese camellia, the mountain, the mesh and various modifications of these species.
Room future and varieties
The net camellia (another name is the reticulum) is a visibility recognized by all gardeners of the world, in which the proportion of species possesses colors before 20 cm in diameter. To eat a special category of causelessly named chimeras, the flowers of which have overflows and colored strokes. I must also select a camellia Chinese (tea or tea bush) that can grow like in the form shrubs, for no reason and in the form of trees. The ellipse leaves of this species also have a serrate margin, and those leaves that have only just opened are covered with snowy edges. Flowers in the sinuses are collected according to a pair - three pieces and emit a narrow incense.
It is permissible to recall the hybrids of Williams, which were obtained as a result of crossing the Japanese and reticulated camellias. They are widely spread in European countries and apart from their own beautiful external appearance, they are distinguished by an enviable viability.
Brief mention should be made of the rarest and unique varieties - the Middlebury pink camellia (unique coloring , rare enough) and a reddish, Olina early blossoming (olive, dyeing in the second half of the sun).

Winter Spring Summer Autumn Camellia is at +15 before + 35 ° C. Be lower flower

without loss transfer the index of 75 - 80% and even lower. Explanation Confused aristocracy
Before 10 and then 18 hours the camellia is held for light, and at noon it's time to put it in a shady place. It is curious that varieties with white and light pink flowers need more to own in the shade than without others. Confused aristocracy/penumbra
In the near future, an enormous reputation was acquired by causelessly named florariums - compositions from domestic plants placed in a glass container starting from a decorative glass and pumping with an aquarium. To eat and floor variation, who can achieve in height in front of 2 meters. Florariums are divided for closed and open, the first of which are good for tropical plants, loving higher humidity, and the second - for succulents, preferring a dry atmosphere.
Camellia is difficult to attribute to the colors recommended for feeding florarium - the size did not come out, well, the upbringing is much more difficult because of many other colors

Of course, many people have a problem - how perfect is the camellia for the sake of the florarium? A clear and concrete objection is difficult to construct for this task, but one can say with certainty: a camellia is a non-obvious variation for the sake of the florarium, and in other words a bait of the premise. First, the camellia is domesticated, although not two their forest and mountain counterparts in terms of size, but it always has a rather large size, and can accommodate it very large pool or a special glass box, which requires abundant space and money costs. Secondly, the camellia has its own specifics, which is expressed in a book that is non-stop to own the highest humidity allowed in the distance not a year curve. Camellia, although she does not like drafts, However, it needs an influx of fresh air, and in a period of stagnant humidity it can quickly fall ill. In addition, you will have to take an exact care because of the state of the earth's moisture - at the time, if the flower grows buds and starts to blossom, the earth needs to be helped moisturized for an unchanged level. But in the interval of vegetation, the soil between watering is allowed and dried.
The conclusion is obvious: it is much easier and more efficient to grow a camellia like an independent plant in a pot. And not a separate pot will suit: good variations are oak tubs or unglazed clay pots. Both of them must exist in a huge size. In this capacity, you can quickly move the camellia from the light to the penumbra, if that's enough. And for the sake of maintaining the right humidity, you can buy a humidifier.

Often it is permissible to hear which is the best time for the sake of flowering camellia - a gap from November to February. But how to exist, you will say, because at this time the camellia begins to bloom intensely, and the transplant can kill this beautiful phenomenon? In fact, everything depends on the accuracy of your actions. An imprudent order with a clod of earth being transplanted can lead to its damage and denudation of the roots, which will put an end to all your efforts. Equally like, and careful actions will not bring the flower any harm. If you are afraid to do something with the camellia in the flowering period, leave the venture with a transplant for the end of this period. All the same, camellia is recommended to be transplanted not more often than 1 time in 2 - 3 years. Camellia is not transplanted infrequently and it is done only in case of last resort.

For the start, one must take into account the fact that the earth loves camellia. First, it's a lightly well drained and wet bottom. It must also exist acidic, since an alkaline day is a disastrous phenomenon for the sake of a camellia. It's almost certainly better to deal with the soil of neutral acidity.
Of course, it's easier to just buy off the already prepared soil mixture - usually get a quantity for azaleas or rhododendrons, which also develop in an acidic environment. Here comes the crushed peel of trees, peat, perlite, dust and vermiculite. It is allowed to procure the land itself, but be sure to consider your abilities for watering. If you are ready to damp the flower daily, then it's pretty easy to make a light mush of perlite and sand, which has a good aeration. If you can"visit"the camellia once or twice a week, then there is added peat and vermiculite. These components hold water much longer. It's time to eat outlook, which can be changed by peat with finely chopped coniferous bark, since it has a water-repellent property. You see, preparing soil for the sake of a camellia is a single action, and therefore be prepared for the time that the soil taken from your garden plot is not suitable for planting. Extremely simple nowhere.
The earth for the sake of the camellia is forced to exist very light and drained, so that moisture does not stagnate at the roots

It seems you have already figured out, pots for the sake of the camellia should exist large. In the lower part, there must certainly be holes for the sake of drainage. Sometimes the roots of the camellia have the attribute to protrude from these holes, and in this case it is permissible to cut them or else to leave them alone - they will dry themselves. Lower discharge is also allowed to perform drainage. For this, gravel and dust will do. The only"but"- small pebbles must be mixed with the ground, it is not necessary to plant a camellia for it with naked roots.
The transplant should be done solely in the book case, if today's pot for the sake of the plant is of course small. If, however, according After 2 - 3 years, you will not have seen the obvious configurations for the worse (camellia grows quite slowly, therefore marvel not worth it), it is quite easy to change the highest rank of land (3 - 5 cm) . Personally, the action of landing and transplantation for paper looks quite easy:

We water the camellia for no reason, roots formed a piece of land.
Very careful we extract the plant from the pot for no reason,
We immerse the camellia in an unprecedented pot, where a drainage discharge has already been prepared (an average of about 5 cm, but the thickness may vary depending on the size of the pot), add as much land as you need filling the empty seats.
We certainly look because the neck of the camellia (a speck of growth between the roots and the trunk) is not covered with earth - the roots should be avoided to the ground, li>
Almost always the camellia has erect shoots and does not need a garter
A large proportion of camellia species has erect shoots, and therefore does not need support. It is important to get support only if you acquire a plant with curly and dangling shoots . However, as the client indicates, in most cases, protection is used by gardeners for garden sites for the sake of a camellia having trunks in front of three or more meters.
only flowering plants - to be careful the flower will not suffer and will continue to bloom further and at the same time will live alive.
Education,Only a fair amount of qualities, but their light is forced by a separate gardener.
Watering and top dressing
Watering is the only important quality in the care of camellia, and here it is proud to adhere to three rules:

Do not remove hard tap water. Do not favor the excess of water in the soil.
In the first half of the age (from January to May), it's better to take warm water for irrigation. If you need to support the need to maintain a suitable moisture near the flower, you can deceive spraying without disturbing the buds and flowers. Also close to the camel is allowed to put a wide container and fill it with water.
Clarity is reduced by the summer, the camellia is not sprayed, however, plant. By the beginning of the sunshine, the camellia is watered again more actively, with warm water, with all this being careful not to over-moisten it.
For the sake of watering it is necessary to extract just the soft water, and the water from the tap is invariably defended or boiled <
Which water is best extracted for the sake of the camellia? The rain and melt water are excellent, but since it is not freely harvested for a permanent base, it is necessary to extract water from the tap. And in this case, it must be defended or boiled, so that it becomes softer.
Another very important factor for the growth and development of camellia are timely feeding. However, in this case, proudly follow the principle of"do no harm."Fertilizers should not act for the acidity of the earth, nor should they always follow the annotations exactly, mainly if fertilizer is not created intentionally for the sake of camellia. Camellia is in great need of such chemical elements, such as nitrogen, sulfur, zinc, manganese, copper, timber, potassium and phosphorus. Exclude top dressing with the content of magnesium and calcium - their camellia and without cause gets with tap water, and the excess of these parts will reduce the acidity of the earth and make it alkaline. For the same reason do not use and unfit.
It should be noted that fertilizers are introduced all the time in a watery form and then only after moistening the earth.
style="text-align: justify ; The best time for feeding purposes is the end of winter and the appearance of spring if the camellia ends blooming and leaves the state of rest. In this interval, active vegetative processes begin, and feeding seems to be impossible. Completed interval fertilizer application in July, and in the autumn of their writing is contraindicated, even more so, if you are trying to acclimate to his windowsill freezeproof camellia.
Camellia allowed to spray in order to increase the level of humidity,
Blooming
The most beautiful in the cultivation of any camellia is its flowering, which begins with the advent of winter. Some varieties begin to fire buds in November. In this interval the plant is covered with flowers from top to bottom. In this interval, it is very proud to respond to excessive buds, so that the camellia does not load itself immensely. Of course, she herself will throw off unnecessary flowers, but with all this, others can grind. That's why for each shoot it is recommended to throw no more than 2 buds. Then flowering to answer peduncles is not required.
In the time of flowering, one should take care of the degree of moistening of the soil: it does not have to exist dry, but with all this it is impossible to favor the excess of water.
It also happens for no reason that the camellia does not paint all the diligence of the gardener. Or does not form buds, or forms, but discards them. In what can the original cause of this phenomenon exist? The answer is extremely clear: any of the criteria for the content of camellia was violated. So that you can freely and vividly know in case of a similar trouble its cause, let's outline the main points: Variations are controversial, but still: during the flowering period, try not to mix the flower from the place for the room and do not rotate it with the other side. At the theoretical level, the camellia should not react poorly to a similar interference in its existence, but for practice it is all.
The temperature in the room can exist above the put. Like you remember, the optimum in winter time is +5 before + 10 ° C. The apogee is + 12 ° C. A brilliant but distracted aristocracy is a claim to the illumination in the winter, and if it is not fulfilled, the buds may not get involved at all .

A flaw or water surplus is also bad for the flower's condition, and even more so for its flowering. Camellia loves abundant watering, however not large. Complying with all the necessary criteria (without exception) will give a green aristocracy bloom, then the problem of the relative absence of plants will fall off .
