Camellia japonica

Feed Camellia japonica : As autumn arrives, and the temperatures become lower, let’s remember to plant a good quantity of organic fertilizer at the base of our shrubs.

continental : We suggest to position the the Camellia japonica in a partially shaded place, which is exposed to direct solar rays only a few hours a day.
These plants can be located in the garden during the whole year; they can stand minimum temperatures many degrees below zero.

alpine : For a balanced development it is best to locate teh the Camellia japonica in a place where it can enjoy some hours of direct solar light, but protected from the sun for most of the day.
Autumn climate usually isn’t very harsh, in any case these plants can even bear very prolonged freezing, therefore they can be grown in the garden during any season.

mediterranean : Locate this plant in a partially shady place, directly lit by sunrays for a few hours a day.
These plants can stand the cold and can also stand very harsh minimum temperatures.

continental : Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water, wetting the ground deeply, but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between an irrigation and another one; avoid stagnant water.

alpine : When the ground is thoroughly dry, we should water regularly but without exceeding, usually using 0-1 buckets of water. Keeping the dampness of the ground under control let’s water every 3-4 weeks.

mediterranean : The Camellia japonica doesn’t request too much watering; we should act with 2-3 buckets of water only when the soil is very dry, every 1-2 weeks, avoiding immoderation.
