1. Soil: Camellia oleifera is a kind of well cultivated plant with low requirements for soil quality. Generally, it's OK to prepare some thick acid soil. Loose and fertile soil will be more conducive to its growth.
2. Water: its demand for water will be higher, especially during its vigorous growth period, sufficient water supply can promote its better growth. But the amount of water should not be too sufficient, too much water will affect its growth.
3. Nutrients: during its growth, nitrogen fertilizer is often used in fertilization. Nitrogen fertilizer can provide more nutrients for plants, making them grow more robust and powerful.
4. Light: sufficient light during maintenance is necessary and suitable for full sunlight. If the light absorption is insufficient, it will cause the growth of its branches and leaves to be more, but the fruit will be less, and the oil yield will be greatly reduced.
1. Pruning: in order to ensure that the seedling rate will be close to the plant, when it grows to about 20 cm, it needs to do simple seedling treatment, leaving one for three plants. Also will wilt withered branches and leaves appropriate pruning, so that it can promote the absorption of nutrients.
2. Propagation: cuttage is often used, and the best time is in summer. Select strong and full branches, cut them into about 4cm cuttings, dip some ABT rooting powder. When cutting, keep the distance between the vertical rows of cuttings at about 10 cm. Finally, water them and pay attention to shade. After cutting, about 60 days, they will take root and germinate.
1. Root rot: the most common disease of cultured Camellia oleifera is root rot. if it is not controlled in time, its root will rot completely until it dies. To use diluted copper sulfate to its roots, soil spray disinfection treatment.
2. Weevil: weevil is very harmful to the growth of Camellia oleifera. It can be diluted with water and sprayed.
1. How to spend the winter: like to grow in a mild environment and be afraid of the cold temperature. During the cultivation, the temperature should be controlled at about 16-18 ℃. If the temperature is too low or frosting, the flowers and fruits of the plants will fail.
2. Edible or not: its seeds can be pressed into oil, and the pressed oil is clear and fragrant, which can be used as edible oil.
