1. Suitable soil

Camellia needs suitable soil to grow. It is best to provide loose, fertile sandy soil with good drainage and a pH value that is not too high. It is better to keep the soil acidic.

2. Provide light

Camellia needs to be given sufficient light during its daily growth period, and it is a long-day plant, so the light needs to be maintained for more than 12 hours, especially in winter, it can be maintained in full light. The summer sun is too strong and requires proper shade to avoid burns.

3. Temperature requirements

The suitable temperature for its growth is around 18-25℃, and it grows well within this range. If the temperature in summer is higher than 35℃, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow. In winter, you should keep warm, preferably above 5℃. If the surrounding temperature is low, you need to move it indoors in time.

4. Reasonable watering

It needs water according to its growth and needs to be watered enough, but not too much water, otherwise it will cause root rot. The temperature is lower in winter, the growth is slow, and the water evaporates slowly, so you don’t need to water too much and you need to control the water content.

5. Apply fertilizer

Camellias like fertilizer very much, so when planting in pots, you need to apply enough base fertilizer, and apply fertilizer reasonably during the growth period to ensure the nutrient needs.
