What could be more beautiful than a blooming camellia? This plant has rightfully earned the love of flower growers all over the world, because its unusual buds, blooming, amaze with their tenderness and grace. Camellia is not the easiest plant to care for, but if you want to grow this beauty at home, it will not be difficult. The main thing is to know and observe all the subtleties of caring for her.

An evergreen shrub of the Tea family, camellia is a graceful plant that is successfully grown by fans of ornamental flora. Her homeland is the land of the rising sun, Japan, as well as China. Due to its unusual flowers, which resemble a rose in the shape of the buds, the camellia is also rightfully called the Japanese rose.

It is noteworthy that in an apartment this plant usually blooms in the cold season for 1-3 months, the life of one bud lasts about a month. The first stage of flowering begins around February, when the plant "wakes up" and lets out the first young shoots and fresh leaves. The flowers are large and bright, can be colored in different colors depending on the variety of camellia: pink, white, red, yellow. The diameter of a blossoming bud is from 5 to 15 cm, depending on the species and variety. Some camellias emit a pleasant aroma during flowering, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere in the house.

The leaves of the plant are dense, shiny, green in color, reaching a length of 10 cm.

Camellia can be grown in the garden, both in the open field, and in a pot or tub. Garden specimens in warm regions sometimes reach a height of 10 meters.

Camellia varieties

If you look through a book on botany or floriculture, it turns out that there are about 200 species of plants of the "Camellia" genus, on the basis of which breeders have created many unusual varieties that differ in the shape of the leaves, size, care requirements and the color of the buds.

As you might guess from the name, the flowers of this type of camellia have a bright yellow saturated color. Adult plant with good care, it can please the gardener with a huge number of buds - up to 200 pieces on one bush. This camellia has a second name - the golden rose of China, is endangered in wildlife and is included in the Red Book. At home, it grows in humid forests at an altitude of about 500 m. Feels great in an apartment
An evergreen deciduous tree, reaching a height of 15 meters, blooms with large bright red lush flowers up to 20 cm in diameter in an adult plant. Since the 10th century, the plant has traditionally been grown near Buddhist monasteries. It got to Europe in early XIX century and since then it has been widely cultivated by gardeners. The original mesh camellia is the largest of the camellias. In the gardens, camellias-chimeras are grown - varieties obtained on the basis of reticulated camellia. Their flowers are so unusual in color that it seems as if they shimmer in the light.
In Russia, this type of camellia is rarely grown as a houseplant. It grows slowly, eventually turning into a small tree or shrub. Flowers are small, about 3.5 cm in diameter, yellowish-pink in color. Tea camellia flowers give off a pleasant aroma. By the way, young leaves are covered with a light fluff called "bai-hao". Guess what long tea is made of

An evergreen shrub that is perfect for a cool greenhouse and will brighten any gardener's collection. Finicky to the conditions of detention. The apartment is rarely higher than 1 meter. Flowers of yellow, pink, red and other colors up to 15 cm in diameter

Nowadays, flower growers around the world breed many varieties of camellias, based on the main four types of plants: Japanese, netted, mountain, Saulen. A plant, depending on the species or variety, can exist both in the apartment and in the garden, but in our climate it is rather difficult to grow it in the open field. But in the house, the bush feels great.

How to grow camellia

Growing a camellia on your own is not easy - you need to know the basic aspects of caring for this plant. This shrub reproduces in several ways:

  • cuttings;
  • graft;
  • layering;
  • seeds.

The most common and easiest way to propagate is by cuttings.

It is held in the spring-summer period: from May to July. If you want to plant a camellia in your home, then the easiest way is to ask for a shoot from the person who already has such a flower. How to propagate camellia by cuttings?

  1. Choose young, semi-lignified shoots on an adult plant, which already have from 1 to 4 developed buds.
  2. Make an oblique cut under the axillary bud, which is at the main trunk, and the cutting is in your hands!
  3. Remove the remaining leaf near the bud.
  4. Prepare a pot or box in which the camellia will grow: to do this, put drainage material on the bottom of the container, and on top of it - soil made from peat (1 part), sand (0.5 part), coniferous earth (1 part).
  5. Sprinkle the soil on top with clean sand (layer thickness - about 4 cm).
  6. The resulting cutting is planted in the sand to a depth of about 2 cm.
  7. Create optimal conditions for a young plant: air humidity - about 80%, air temperature - about 22 degrees.
  8. The plant will take root within 2-3 months.

The second popular, but more difficult way to propagate camellia is to buy seeds from the store. Get ready for the fact that camellia grows very slowly, and you will receive flowers no earlier than the plant reaches the age of 6-8 years (for comparison: a camellia grown from a cuttings will bloom in 2-3 years). To grow camellias from seeds, it is important to choose the freshest of them - the earlier after harvesting they are planted, the more likely successful germination will be. By the way, before sowing, the seed can be tested for "vitality": dip it into the water. If the seed drowned within 24 hours, then it is viable.

There are varieties of camellias that will do great outdoors in your garden. To decorate your plant private plot, buy seedlings. They should be purchased right before planting, that is, in May-June. When choosing seedlings, check with the seller the age of the plants: you should not buy a camellia under 4 years old. It is important to clarify the variety of camellia, as well as the requirements for caring for it (frost resistance, frequency of watering, etc.). The shoots of the plant should be strong and lignified. Purchased seedlings are planted in tubs or open ground... By the way, in a container with a plant there will be less fuss: it will be easier to remove it from the street for the winter.

Camellia at home: care

Camellia is a rather capricious plant, but arrange behind it proper care if desired, it is not so difficult.

Camellia in the garden: care

In countries with a subtropical climate, camellia is widespread in gardens: it will perfectly decorate the courtyard, park, gazebo, and in the cool season does not need to be moved indoors. In central Russia, you will have to tinker with a camellia living on the street: it is important to transfer it to the house for the winter so that it does not die, so it is better to plant it not in open ground, but in a large tub.

  1. The “habitat” of camellia on the site should be where the plant receives enough light, but does not “burn” from direct sunlight. Plant her near large tree or a shrub, thanks to the crown of which it will be possible to create a light partial shade. Camellia will feel good near the wall of the house or by the fence. But do not overdo it with shade: with a lack of light, the plant will not bloom, and instead of beautiful Japanese roses, you will observe a lush green bush in your area.
  2. Water the camellia in the garden abundantly once a week, the soil should not dry out or become waterlogged. Otherwise, the camellia will refuse to bloom or get sick.
  3. It is advisable to mulch the plant's trunk circle with bark or leaves - this procedure will save the soil around the camellia trunk from drying out, and in cool weather will protect it from freezing. In the middle of autumn, the camellia is pruned so that it branches and forms into a lush bush.

Growing problems

The main problems that a flower lover may face when growing camellias are as follows:

  1. Camellia leaves are covered with brown spots. This means that the plant has received a sunburn. Shade it, and the camellia will turn green again.
  2. The leaves turned brown and the buds fell off. It means that you flooded the flower, and the soil became acidic. Dry the soil well before watering again.
  3. Leaf shedding is a signal that the camellia either lacks moisture, or you water it in excess.

Today we'll talk about favorite and popular indoor plants.

Indoor plants are brought up to decorate the interior, refresh, purify the air in the room and as an alternative to live pets, because some take care of the plants like children.
