Camellia japonica Japanese Camellia- 4″ Pot – Live Tropical Houseplant – Grown in the USA

Features
  • SIZE: 4" Pot
  • Grown in the USA By licensed nursery.

Camellia prefers shade to part-shade with some protection from drying winter winds and well-drained soils that are high in organic matter and slightly acidic (pH 5.5 to 6.5). They are slow to grow and slow to establish but are long-lived plants. Because plants are slow to establish, it is best to dig a large hole, three to four times wider, but not deeper, than the root ball, to reduce competition for water and nutrients from surrounding trees and shrubs. Excess sun, cold, or shade can reduce flowering. Yellow leaves may mean too little acidity in the soil. Some flower bud dropping may be natural, but sometimes may be caused by over-watering or under-watering. Limit pruning to removal of dead or damaged wood, unproductive branches, and disproportionately long shoots. Prune immediately after flowering or in early summer. Pruning later in the year may sacrifice next year?s blooms. Propagate camellia by stem cuttings.

Special Shipping Note: Trees or Shrubs may be shipped bare-root or in long fiber spagnum moss depending on the destination’s rules and regulations.?
