🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, ensuring water reaches a depth of 14 to 18 inches; deep watering is especially critical while buds are setting and flowers are opening.
Fertilizer
Feed lightly after blooming with an organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer, or not at all.
Pruning
Prune only in the weeks immediately following the bloom period; remove damaged branches and long shoots that detract from the shrub's form; severe pruning can be performed between Valentine's Day and May 1.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to dieback, canker, root rot, camellia flower blight, and tea scale.
