Camellia japonica

Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica) is a charming flowering small tree with pointed dark green shiny leaves. An original gift for lovers of interesting plants. Camellia is called “yabu-tsubah” in Japan, and “son-tsfa” in Chinese, which translates as “mountain tea”. A plant will feel great living on your balcony or terrace.

Large rose-like flowers are produced in abundance on this glossy evergreen shrub in spring.

Plant Care🪴

Light: Plant Camellia japonica in partial shade to protect it from intense afternoon sunlight. Morning sunlight or dappled shade is ideal. Avoid planting in full sun, especially in warmer climates.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water deeply, and mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Pruning: Prune Japanese camellias after they finish flowering in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or diseased branches and shape the plant as needed. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may reduce flowering.
