Frequently asked questions
Camellia Japonica
Do single and double options need different root care?
Both need acidic, moist but well-drained roots. The option chiefly changes the flower form, not that basic requirement.
Should I plant it deeper to support a taller size?
Keep the original root-collar depth and use suitable support if needed; burying the crown can cause problems.
Can ordinary alkaline garden soil be used?
These plants need an acidic root environment. Test unsuitable soil or use a suitable potting mix in a separate container.
Do yellow leaves always mean no fertiliser?
No. Root wetness, pH and other stress can affect nutrient uptake. Check those before increasing feed.
