Theaceae (Camellia)
Özet
Camellia japonica L. (Theaceae), herdem yeşil yaprakları ve gösterişli çiçekleri ile iç mekân süs bitkileri arasında özel bir yere sahip önemli bir türdür. Doğu Asya kökenli olan bu tür, nemli subtropikal iklim kuşağında doğal olarak yayılış göstermekle birlikte, kontrollü çevresel koşullar sağlandığında iç mekânlarda da başarılı şekilde yetiştirilebilmektedir. Parlak, derimsi koyu yeşil yaprakları ve beyazdan pembeye, kırmızıdan alacalı formlara kadar uzanan geniş çiçek renk yelpazesi, bitkiye yüksek dekoratif değer kazandırmaktadır. İç mekânda yarı gölgeli, filtrelenmiş ışık alan ortamlar Camellia japonica için ideal yetişme koşullarını oluşturmaktadır. Hafif asidik özellikte, iyi drene olan toprak isteği, düzenli ancak kontrollü sulama gereksinimi ve orta–yüksek bağıl nem ihtiyacı, iç mekân yetiştiriciliğinde dikkat edilmesi gereken temel çevresel faktörlerdir. Çiçeklenme sonrası dönemde uygulanan uygun budama ve 2–3 yılda bir yapılan saksı değişimi, bitkinin sağlıklı gelişimini ve düzenli çiçeklenmesini desteklemektedir. Bu çalışma, Camellia japonica’nın iç mekân süs bitkisi olarak kullanım potansiyelini, yetiştirme istekleri ve dekoratif özellikleri ile birlikte bütüncül bir yaklaşımla değerlendirmektedir.
