Camellia can be grown indoors, but it has strict requirements for the growing environment. If it is not managed and maintained properly when grown indoors, it may cause the plant to wither and die, which is very troublesome. So how to grow camellia indoors? The editor of Qinong.com will introduce you to the indoor cultivation methods of camellia.

1. Camellia likes an environment with plenty of sunlight, but avoids strong light, so the light intensity must be controlled during the cultivation process. Sufficient light is required in spring and autumn, and direct sunlight must be avoided in summer due to the strong sunlight, so shading treatment must be carried out and do not place it in balconies or other places where it can be directly exposed to sunlight.

2. Camellia is neither cold-resistant nor heat-resistant. The most suitable growth temperature is between 18-25 degrees. It cannot be too high or too low. Too high or too low temperature will affect its growth. The indoor temperature must be kept above 3 degrees in winter. Temperatures below 0 degrees will cause frostbite to the plants.

4. Air circulation is an important factor in indoor camellia cultivation. It is suitable for growing in a well-ventilated environment, but avoid strong winds and northwest winds. Strong winds and northwest winds will cause the water in the plant to evaporate quickly, causing the supply and demand to lose balance, which is not conducive to its growth. In severe cases, it can cause the death of the plant.

5. Camellia has high requirements for soil. Soil is the foundation of its survival. Its growth nutrients are provided by the soil. It likes fertile, loose, well-drained humus soil, and requires a pH value between 5-6.5.

6. Camellia is susceptible to diseases and pests during its growth, mainly black mold and anthracnose. If any symptoms are found, spray 0.5 degree Bordeaux mixture in time. The main pest is the tea moth, so just cut off the insect tips in time after discovery.
