Caring for a Camellia plant as a garden plant
The camellia prefers loose, moist, slightly acidic soil. Use plenty of rhododendron soil when planting. The plant prefers to be out of direct sunlight between 12 and 3 o'clock. So choose a spot in partial shade, preferably facing west. Always water the plant during dry periods, preferably with rainwater. Prune a camellia immediately after flowering, if necessary.
The Camellia is naturally a woodland shrub and therefore prefers iron-rich soil. Iron sulfate and potassium-rich fertilizer are therefore appreciated by the plant. Always water the soil with rainwater after applying fertilizer. Generally, the plant requires little fertilizer.
