Camellia buds do not open

Why don't the buds open?

Maybe you have yours camellia just bought, full of buds and hoping for flowering soon. Now the plant is in your living room and just wants to not bloom. This is quite normal for this sensitive plant. You must first adapt to the changed environment (light, humidity) and care get used to and like to throw buds and when changing location Flowers off.

Maybe hers is Heyday But your camellia simply hasn't come yet. Many varieties bloom as early as February or March, others not until April. But they set the buds before winter. In this case, only patience and continued good care will help.

Possible causes why the buds won't open:

• extended rest, as the flowering temperature has not yet been reached
• lack of rest phase due to excessive temperature
• too low humidity
• too much or wrong fertilizer

How do I get camellias to flower successfully?

First, check your camellia's surroundings. Is the humidity high enough? It should be at least 60, better 70 percent. Set up a humidifier or spray the plant with lukewarm water every now and then. However, like the irrigation water, this should be low in lime.

Is the temperature ideal? The camellia prefers it to be cool rather than warm and needs a certain amount of cold as an incentive to flower. A warm living room is therefore not well suited for the camellia. Be sure to move the plant to someone else Location, even if then maybe the Buds fall off. It's still better than losing the camellia entirely.
