Anyone who has the wonderfully blooming camellia at home, in the garden or on the terrace should know that camellias need a lot of care.
Camellias are very demanding
Basically, you have to pay attention to a lot so that the camellia also thrives and surprises you with flowers. Camellias are shade plants. Even brief exposure to the sun can cause leaf burns. Nevertheless, the camellia must not stand in the dark - not even during the winter. Then the lack of light can cause the plant to lose leaves and buds.
She doesn't like waterlogging or drought
It is also important to ensure adequate fertilization. She also doesn't like waterlogging or dryness. When watering, then only with softened, low-s alt water. If watered incorrectly, you will notice that the leaves will become limp, turn yellow and fall off.
Protect camellias from diseases and pests
It can also happen that the flower has cancerous growths. These should then be cut out as soon as possible. This is the death of camellias. The camellia must also be protected against infestation by vermin and fungi with appropriate pesticides.
