Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Camellias in a location with partial shade to filtered sunlight. They prefer well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the Camellia in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
- Spacing:Space Camellia shrubs according to their mature size, typically about 4 to 8 feet apart, depending on the variety.
- Care:Water newly planted Camellias regularly until established. Once established, they prefer consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of drought. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune after flowering to shape the shrub and remove dead or weak stems. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in spring.
