I have had a camelia for 5 years and it has two buds(hurrah) but it disappears each year and I don,t know how to grow it into a large bush. help please!
How do you tend a Camelia.?
Hey Lorraine,
In general, cultural practices for growing camellias are similar to those for rhododendrons, azaleas, and hollies. Careful planting is the single most crucial factor in ensuring success. In northerly areas, where the plants will be near the limit of their cold tolerance, spring planting is best. The site should afford protection in winter from strong winds and morning sun. When planting, add a generous amount of humus such as compost, leaf mold, or coarse peat to the soil. Be careful not to plant too deeply; as with azaleas and rhododendrons, the base of the stem should be slightly higher than the surrounding soil.
A two- to four-inch layer of mulch is important to help the soil retain moisture and to minimize alternate freezing and thawing in winter. During its first season, water a new plant thorougly once a week unless there has been at least one inch of rain. If the winter is a dry one, watering may also be necessary during mild spells.
Camellias are not heavy feeders, so fertilizer should be used sparingly. An acidic fertilizer may be applied in early spring and followed by a second light application in June.
Plants may be pruned to remove weak or dead branches, to control size or leggy growth, or to renew the vigor of older plants. Heavy pruning is best done in spring, before the plants have begun to produce new growth.
Reply:Camellias require acid(ericacious) soil otherwises the leaves turn jaundice colour and you get few flowers.
If the leaves are green,than not enough water in August/Sept for the plant to form next years buds
If the leaves are green,and the site is wet than the plant is partially blind(deep red is common problem)Get another plant
There are dozens of different camellias some only grow to 2ft high,others to 20ft by 20ft,some are bushy and compact,others are spindley
You have a smaller species,they are tough,and cope with frost,but detest cold winds
Reply:This plant enoys the south sun and love to be pampered with lots of attention and food. I like to feed my Camelia banna peels and lots of bone meal about twice a year and this past winter around Feburary and March it was covered with blooms and we really enjoyed it. Good luck with your plant and enjoy it for years to come.
Reply:Keep it warm in the winter, against a house with a fleece jacket or in a greenhouse, in the summer nice sunny area. Feed with a good Bone and Fish mixture in the summer and autumn, water but not too much, they seem to prefer damp to wet. We have 2 in pots in our garden and they seem to be Ok nice lots of flowers on.
Reply:Camellias prefer a semi shady location such as a sheltered area beneath tall trees. The soil should be loose textured, well drained and slightly acid. They are slow to mature - have patience.

Reply:They love plenty of peat...They hate the morning sun.

What is up with my camelia?
i have a camelia that i just moved out of a pot. some of it buds have some kind of fuzz on it. i am not sure what it is. the leaves are fine i do not see any bugs on it but i do see a bird's mess on one of its leaves. but what is causing the buds to be fuzzy? and do cameliad bloom all year long in north florida?
What is up with my camelia?
The fuzz could simply be related to the type of camellia that you have. Camellia sinesis (the tea plant), for example, has a fuzzy bud.
Blooming is part of the plant's reproductive cycle, so it is unlikely that it will bloom continuously for the entire year -- "cycle" being the operative word! Every plant needs a rest period.

Anyone been to The Camelia Botnar Foundation?
My son age 17 attends college doing catering courses, hes in second year now, but he is being offered a place at Camelia Botnar Foundation near Brighton, West Sussex, He will go there for interview, waiting for a date, so meanwhile he wants to know if anyone here attends or attended that place, and tell us what it is like there, give as much as info as you can please, as its such a long way for my son to be away from home, thanks
Anyone been to The Camelia Botnar Foundation?
Hi I attended the Camelia Botnar Foundation for a year in the building department, it was a few years ago now, but when I was there I found it to be a great place, the wages arent great and sometimes you feel like youve been done out but on the whole the experience is very worthwile, its set in right in the middle of the country side and the "main house" is an old manor house when I was there although it wasn't a documented reward system the harder you worked and stayed out of trouble the further you get within about 3/4 months I was given the greatest responsibility which was getting to live in one the outer houses I stayed in North lodge which used to be the gate house, the same thing applies though if you mess about or continualy get in trouble then this will be retracted and you will have to live back in the main house, the difference between the two is living in one of the houses gives you greater freedom, you could freely visit any friends that you have made in one of the other houses you also have to shop for yourselves there was a scheme that you were returned back to wage a percentage of what you spent as long as it was more than £10, for me it was a great experience, but for others it just wasnt for them, what I would suggest that when he has his interveiw he takes in as much as possible and ask as many questions as he can, also if he can get onto a college course that is an added bonus, he would attend crawley college if he got onto a course, and its a deemed a huge responsibility to attend the course, as it is all to easy to go to crawley and spend the day in the town, to try and stop this I remember that they had a deposit scheme and if you dont attend then you lose any money that you have deposited and wont be given the opertunity to go again.
There was also a savings scheme where a percentage of your wage is put into a savings account, after a year I think I had £730 saved which was a great start for when I left.
To sum it up the foundation is a great place if you really want to acheive the cooking your son does may not be cordon blu dishes as a majority of what he cooks is for the other trainees breakfast lunches and tea/dinner thats why gettin on a college course is good. I do speak from the past tho' many things may have changed by now, it was about 10yrs ago that I was there but even then I found it to be a valuble life lesson.
So like I said get him to ask as many questions as possible in order to determnine that this is where he wants to be at, as I knew so many that didnt stick it out and just left.
Hope this helps

Reply:Camelia's are usually shade to semi shade loving plants. If yours has been in the nursery awhile or has been in a heavily shaded area and you have planted into the sun, it could have some sun burn on the leaves. If you have planted in the sun reassess and replant in a shadier position.
Reply:If the 'white spots' are fuzzy or powderey than it can be a form of leaf mildew - which happened to my camelias once. But, I'm not certain that would be the case because it would not happen so quickly (3 days) unless the plant had the condition already and was 'cleaned up' at the nursery before you bought it. Try not to water it from above (water on the leaf) to stop spreading the fungus if this is the case, and apply a systemic fungicide (such as Immunox) if the white spots increase.
Otherwise, I could agree with the other contributors here and perhaps its the lighting the plant is getting or a result of transplant shock -- or a combination of both.
As always, I recommend (very inexpensive) Vitamin-B1 plant feed you can get at a nursery because it has components in it which help promote root growth from the "shock" of the transplanting.
Good luck.
Reply:If it is a Japonica, they like a bit of shade. I normally plant mine with protection on 1 side, but i have seen them growing well in full sun.
If its a sasanqua, they will take full sun and have a smaller leaf than japonicas.
Probably just a bit of sunburn, will probably sun harden, in a few weeks

How can you save a Camelia that suffered from draught?
I've rescued a Camelia that was subject to negligence for almost a year since its owner passed away. It should be a few good years old and it is not small-sized.
When I brought it home, around September, it was already all dry because of high temperatures and too much exposure to the sun. What made me think it is still alive is that when scratching the trunk, near the roots, it is light green.
What I did next was prune it heavily and tried to follow usual instructions for good care of camelias. I read that usually camelias begin growing new leaves in December/January, but I have seen no life at all so far. Most branches are dry and I'm not sure if I should prune it down until some green shows up in the branches.
What can I do to recover this camelia? Thanks.
How can you save a Camelia that suffered from draught?
Suggest pruning half the branches back to where signs of life are evident Keep a symmetrical shape with the pruning and paint the ends of large cut branches with "Arbrex"
Apply a thick mulch of compost,well rotted manure etc; to the soil around the base of the plant and when the weather improves,draw back the mulch and apply a fertiliser such as "Growmore".
Your plant should revive with this treatment and it's possible new shoots will emerge from below the soil.Should this happen,cut out as much of the old growth as can be replaced by new shoots.
Reply:Woody.... pretty well has it right my only suggestion is did you happen to notice any small white looking roots when planting? If so then it still has life, not much but some. I would buy a pkg of root hormone and mix a mild solution of that and pour around the plant.
I use this on everything I plant or transplant it's good for a healthy start.

Why does not my camelia flower?
I planted a camelia last August, and it did not flower yet although
all my neighbors are enjoying theirs. I live in North Cal. and the
camelia is in a shady place. It has a lot of buds from before planting, but does not seem to change much so far. Any advice?
Why does not my camelia flower?
I live in a different climate zone but camellias are the same all over. They are a lime hating plant so you need to have it planted in a peaty soil. Ask for advice at your local garden centre or nursery. Are the buds flower or leaf buds? It might also need to be fed. Again ask at your local nursery. As I live on the other side of the atlantic I cant advise on products. But soil and food sound most likely, particularly if the leaves are slightly yellow, they should be a really bright green. Hope this helps
Reply:Hi:
I live in South Carolina and there are two possible reasons your Camellia didn't bloom this year.
Many different plant specimens including the Camellia don't bloom the first year. This is due to the time you put it in the ground and the roots to get established and sometimes it depends on the age and maturity of the plant.
This last year has not been good on blooms and all tree specimens in the south. Due to the drought and different temperatures throughout the winter months, this has probably caused your Camellia not to bloom. There have been a lot of blooms on Camellias but no flowers. Many people are chalking this past year up due to the drought.
I will link you to the gallery of plant section as it has two pages on the Camellia. One is the Japonica and one is the Sasanqua. I will also link you to the site map as this has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other information or tips that may help you. Good luck to you and hopefully we will have a better growing season this year.

Yellowing Camelia?
Inherited old camelia, branches spindly, leaves yellowing and the flowers don't open properly and turn brown quickly. Any ideas about how to make it healthy again?
Yellowing Camelia?
Camelias require an acid soil pH of 6 or less.
Are you growing it in a container? If so you should grow it in an erracaeous compost which is slightly acidic. sounds like you have planted in the ground and is alkaline and not acidic. If so remove some soil around the plant and add lots of the EC.and or peat moss and some 'iron sequestrin. do not let plant dry out.
Feed with some fertilizer suitable for erricious plants. It may come back to healthy growth.
Hope this helps Dezzie
Reply:Camelias must have peaty soil,if it's in a pot ,repot in fresh potting compost and water well.
If it's in the garden,they can't stand early morning sun.so put it against a west facing wall.
Reply:Camellia's require ericaceous soil; and by the sounds of things your plant s dyer need of some TLC.
First I would trim the plant and thin out the spindly growth. Take out the 3 D's - dead, damaged and diseased. Then after reshaping the plant I would then re-pot into some Ericaceous John Innes and only pot the plant up only one or two sizes. When you are re-potting check the roots out for vine weevil damage. If present water with Bayer Provado.
Once you've done this feed with some sequestered iron plant food tonic and then feed every 7-14 days with Miracle-Gro Ericaceous Plant Food and place in any position except east. As when your flowers are present in the winter; if they thaw too quickly they will drop off.
Reply:Camelias need to be postioned in a place where strong cold winds don't get to them. If your camelia is in an exposed place, I would suggest that you move it to somewhere more protected.
They also need an ericaceous compost, and need to be fed with a good all round fertiliser from March to September.

Camella does not need cold stratification, so store in a cool dry location (you do not need to put them in the refrigerator). Hard, dry seeds must be soaked in 180 degree F water for 24 hours just before planting in spring. Remember not to plant your seeds too deep.

Camelia hotel in Hanoi?
There are a few Camelia Hotels in Hanoi. Which is the one that is value for money and close to city? I am on a wheelchair. Is it convenient and safe to visit Hanoi?
Camelia hotel in Hanoi?
dude, i don't know the hotel you mention, but do have some ideas for you about other things.
hanoi is very busy and crossing the street seems like a nightmare, but in all honesty you've just got to start going across and the many motorbikes will ride around you (totally honest). it's up to you to do 2 things
1. look out for other things like trucks, cars and buses that can't change direction as easily as a motorbike (motor scooter to be more truthful)
2. keep going at a steady pace, coz the people need to judge your speed so they can take proper evasive action.
it'll seem totally crazy, and it is, but after a few goes you'll get the idea.
now, i've been on crutches in Vn and had to hobble all over the place. my best advice is to make sure your hotel has an elevator, coz many of the budget hotels only have stairs, and many floors, so that'll be kind of bad, yeah.

Reply:There are two Camelia Hotels in Hanoi, #1 and #2, both of which are near the Old Quarter of Hanoi (near Ho Hoan Kiem.) So both are pretty close to the city (in fact in the middle of it.) However, these hotels are both 1-star to 2-star at best (daily rate from $10 to $30 a night); both seem what we call "mini hotel", meaning converted from residence into hotels, so they might lack proper access for folks in wheelchair. For example, there might not be ramps for you to move up and down the stairs/entrance. If you need these things, it might be better to consider other 3/4/5-star hotels, costing from $60 to over $100 a night.
On your general question about visiting Hanoi, it is a pretty safe city to visit. There are many things to see in the city as well as outside the city. There are many inexpensive tours for foreigners to visit the city, many with guides speaking the popular languages (english, french, spanish, etc.)
Reply:I stayed in one of them in the old quarter. Do not stay there. They only have stairs to get to the room and it will be very hard for you. It is safe to go there but you are going to have to stay in a more expensive place. Try for a 4 star hotel and call them or email them ahead of time to find out if there is wheelchair ability. As far as safe? Yes it is safe as long as you are careful. Convenient, no, you are going to have a hard time geting around because that country does not make things easy for you, curbs everywhere, etc.. Good luck and have fun!Check out www.lonelyplanet.com.

Camelia hotel in Hanoi?
dude, i don't know the hotel you mention, but do have some ideas for you about other things.
hanoi is very busy and crossing the street seems like a nightmare, but in all honesty you've just got to start going across and the many motorbikes will ride around you (totally honest). it's up to you to do 2 things
1. look out for other things like trucks, cars and buses that can't change direction as easily as a motorbike (motor scooter to be more truthful)
2. keep going at a steady pace, coz the people need to judge your speed so they can take proper evasive action.
it'll seem totally crazy, and it is, but after a few goes you'll get the idea.
now, i've been on crutches in Vn and had to hobble all over the place. my best advice is to make sure your hotel has an elevator, coz many of the budget hotels only have stairs, and many floors, so that'll be kind of bad, yeah.
but apart from this, you'll be having yourself a grand time no doubt, so enjoy it all. i envy you muchly, as it's been a year since i was last there.

Camelia grafting?
I have camelia plants with different flower colors in the backyard. I want to graft them so that one plant will produce many color flowers. They bloom in the winter and spring. Grafting should be done when the plant is dormant.
What season should I do the grafting?
Thanks.
