Instructions for care
How to Care for a Camellia?
The camellia is an easy-to-grow shrub, thriving just as well in a pot on a balcony or terrace as in open ground in a garden. It can be kept indoors during the flowering period, provided certain essential rules are followed. Place it in a well-lit spot near a window, bay window, or in a conservatory, ensuring the temperature stays below 17°C. Mist its foliage with room-temperature water two to three times a week. Once flowering has finished, it's best to move it outside, either in a pot or in the ground.
In a pot: Choose a pot with a sufficient diameter and drainage holes at the bottom. Fill it with a mix of heather soil and horticultural compost or planting soil. The camellia can stay in the same pot for 2 to 3 years but should be repotted regularly. Watering should be consistent during hot weather but not excessive to keep the soil moist. It's important to avoid water stagnation around the roots.
In the ground: It prefers sheltered locations away from strong winds and harsh cold, whether in shade, partial shade, or filtered sunlight. It does not tolerate limestone, so use a mix of heather soil, compost, and peat. Water generously after planting, then regularly during the first year, especially during hot weather, to help the roots establish. Remember to protect it from the cold during winter.
