The camellia is a flower of eastern origin, also called Rose of Japan (its botanical name is Camellia japonica), introduced in the West along the sixteenth century of the hands of the European navigators who trafficked in the East. Two centuries later came the first copies to Galicia, from Portugal.
How are the Camellias?
Its flower is quite large. It has a row of petals forming Corolla or more overlapping. In some species can reach measuring over 12 cm, and its colors ranging from white to purple, red, pink, salmon, yellow or bicolor.
The leaves of the plant are very consistent and oval, dark green, very bright.
In general, if anything characterizes the camellia is their variety of sizes, colors and shapes.
Its varieties
There are over 10,000 different varieties. The most widespread in the garden centers, for their resilience, even frost, is the "Chandleri Elegans," pink.
"Eugenia de Montijo" is colored red and blooms in spring.
Pure white camellia is the "Il Cigno", and violet is the "Angelina Vieira, a Portuguese variety.
Bicolor, pink and white camellias find "Lady Vansittart."
The care they should have
The camellia plant is a very conservative, who dislike changes in general: variations in temperature, irregular watering, transplants, and so on.
It is not suitable for very cold regions or for gardens exposed to the sun. That is why the place should be fresh, well-ventilated and clear, but without the sun directly from him. Does not support the closed rooms with heating.
Outdoors, the ideal is an Atlantic climate. It is important to protect it from sunlight and air.
Regarla that there are plenty of warm water, never limestone, but avoiding water logged. Of course, in July and August, the temperatures rise enough, we need to irrigate a lesser amount.
Her biggest need is moisture, which must be over 60%. Rocíala in winter, but avoids doing so on the flowers. In summer, plenty of foliage sprays.
A council
The camellia is a plant of slow growth, but if cuts can stimulate the central stem, in the case of bolting a copy too. Short and long after the bloom on a strong bud.
