care tips
The camellia stands in a light position, not too sunny and not too dark. Place the plant in semi-shade. Ensure constant soil moisture throughout the year. During the spring, summer and early autumn months it is essential to water the shrub regularly enough, as the flower buds for the following year are then formed. Preferably use rainwater for watering.
