They are specially designed to be located in semi-shaded spaces, that is, they do not tolerate direct sun at all, although they do resist intense cold. Another issue that helps to prolong the life of camellias is not to change their location, since they suffer a lot from changes in temperature and humidity.

Camellia care in pot

While the plant blooms beautifully when planted directly in soil, the conditions inside a pot give it the perfect moisture to last longer. You should know that the soil in which it is planted must be acidic (with a high pH). Your camellia will grow best if the pot has holes in the bottom and is made of plastic or ceramic.

How are camellias watered?

You can water it with rainwater or tap water. The process should be carried out between 2 or 3 times every seven days in hot seasons, and the rest of the year 2 times a week, trying not to add too much water so as not to suffocate its roots.

How to make the camellia bloom?

In order for its petals to reach splendor, it is necessary to be attentive to the substrate that should be used, hopefully you use one that has a good fertilizer inside since its feeding depends on this. Another aspect to take care of is pruning, because although it grows slowly, you must carry out this procedure once a year, making sure to remove the leaves that are in poor condition.

The most recommended are those that contain phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and iron.
