GENERAL INFORMATION

• Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae.
• They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia.
• There are 100–300 described species, with some controversy over the exact number.
• There are also around 3,000 hybrids.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Camellias need slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5); they don't grow well in soils with a high pH and will exhibit signs of stress, including yellowing leaves, if the soil is alkaline.
• Camellias do not tolerate wet feet; it's essential that you site them in an area with well-drained soil.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Camellias don't need much fertilizer, and too much nitrogen can burn the leaves and cause them to drop off.
• Spread 1/2 to 1 pound (227 g.) of 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 slow-release fertilizer over the root zone.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Camellias thrive in part shade.
• Protect them from the early morning sun which would scorch the blooms still soaked with dew.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Water young shrubs deeply to encourage the root system to spread downward.
• Once the tree is mature, it needs less water. In time, you may not have to irrigate at all.
