Know anything about camellias with tea scale (my leaves are infested with bugs i guess)?

well anyways my camellia is sick and i am trying to save its life. well i planted 2 camellias in the ground last year. and they didnt do well. one died and the other i planted in a pot until i get it healthy. all the leaves that the plant were not in good shape. well now for the past month its been gettting better. the new leaves which only a few are nice and silky looking and smooth as for the others leaves they have some specks covered under the leaves. i was able to wipe it off with a wet wash cloth. i found out it was caused by bugs mites etc. i do water my plants at night which i am stopping as of theis moment. but everry morning there is spider web that keeps appearing on to the camelia. what can i do to help and prevent this problem. can i go ahead and clean the leaves with a wash cloth and cut the camellia down ? it seems it doesnt grow at all i know they are slow growers i think the bugs are attacking it too much. what can i do to help it? if you know web sites that can help

Try applying a horticultural oil spray or Orthene.
