How to Grow and Care for Camellia

Camellia requires attentive care and thrives in environments with ample humidity and well-draining, acidic soil. Special care should be taken to protect the plant from cold drafts and to ensure it gets adequate, but not excessive, water. Pruning should be done carefully to maintain shape and promote flowering without damaging the plant.

Watering schedule: Every 2-3 weeks

Sunlight Requirements: Full sun
