Cremo Peony Camellia is suitable for newcomers to choose, breeding is not difficult, and the cost performance is high.
compared with the northern region, both peony and camellia are more suitable for growing in the warm southern region.
But now there is a unique flower variety in the market, which belongs to the genus Camelliaceae, but the actual growth form is very similar to that of peony, and its name is Camellia grandiflora.
Because this kind of camellia comes from Cremo, USA, when it was comprehensively named, the relevant personnel in the industry gave the name of Cremo Peony Camellia.
1. Unique morphology
Most common camellia varieties in China have uniform growth morphology, and most of them show shrub growth morphology, and the height of plants is generally not too high.
Cramer Peony and Camellia also have these characteristics of common Camellia, and the overall growth will not be particularly high, generally speaking, it is about one meter to one meter five, which is a relatively normal situation.
Therefore, this kind of camellia belongs to a kind of camellia that is more suitable to be cultured in the courtyard and indoor environment. Apart from the similarity in basic form and camellia, the ornamental effect when it blooms is quite different from that of ordinary camellia varieties.
Like some well-known red camellia varieties or white camellia varieties in China, most of them have relatively high color saturation.
But when flowering, the comprehensive quantity will not be too much. Generally, a whole plant with 3-4 flowers on it is already a considerable form.
At the same time, a single flower of common camellia species looks thinner, and generally a flower has only a few petals.
However, when Cremo Peony Camellia blooms, a single flower looks very full and round, and it belongs to the camellia variety named after its flower shape is more like peony.
So when you look at it from a distance when it blooms, it really makes people feel like peony flowers have been transplanted into ordinary camellia plants.
Anyone who has raised Cremo Peony Camellia knows that this kind of Camellia is not very strict with the external environment, and the number of flowers is large and the flowers are big every time, so it is really very popular in the market these years.
According to some netizens who have raised this kind of camellia, so far, this kind of camellia, Cremo Peony, presents a round and full shape when a flower blooms, and the diameter of the flower can reach about 14 cm to 15 cm, and the largest can even reach 17 cm. Sometimes even if only two or three flowers bloom in a whole plant, its ornamental effect is far superior to that of ordinary camellia varieties.
second, the difficulty of breeding
although the flowers are very bright in color and numerous every time they bloom, and a single flower is also very heavy and textured when it blooms, on the whole, the difficulty of breeding is not as difficult as everyone thinks.
With basic soil, this camellia can obviously bloom in 2~3 months by watering and fertilizing regularly.
When the bud of this camellia is in full bloom in the early stage, a single bud looks as big as an egg, showing a full circle.
When the bud is slowly opened in the later stage, the shape will be more similar to that of peony.
And it belongs to a multi-pistil flower, and many separated pistils can be seen inside a flower.
The color of stamens is very bright yellow, while the color of petals is more positive red and bright red. If you keep this camellia at home and find that the overall color is not particularly full, it may be caused by lack of fertilizer, so you can pay more attention to fertilization. When choosing fertilizer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are more suitable.
Of course, this camellia belongs to the green plant itself, and the demand for sunlight in the process of growth still has certain standards. If it is cultivated in its own indoor environment, it must be kept in the sun and moved to a sunny place.
When the later buds grow longer and more, and the flowers bloom slowly, we should also pay attention to some pruning work.
The number of buds of this camellia is very large every time it blooms, and the weight of a single flower is very large. Therefore, if you want it to show better effects, it is necessary to do some basic pruning work after the flowers are in full bloom.
conclusion: it is not too expensive to buy this kind of camellia in the flower market now. Originally, this kind of camellia belongs to a variety with high cost performance. If you spend tens to hundreds of dollars to buy a better flower seedling with a better year, you can basically harvest a whole pot with water once or twice a week and fertilization once or twice a month in your yard and balcony.
