What is the plant

Camellias are long lived evergreen shrubs or small trees that can grow anywhere from6-20 feet tall with up to a 10 foot spread, depending on the species and cultivar. They have glossy, dark green, 2"-4" foliage that is attractive even when the plant is out of bloom.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Camellias prefer for the soil to remain moist, but not soggy, all the time. when watering, the soil should be wet to a depth of 14" to 18". maximum water availability is even more important while flowers are opening.
Pruning
Dead fronds and leaves can be removed.
Fertilizer
As with most houseplants, they will benefit from an occasional feed during the growing season. An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer is recommended.

Sunlight
Indoors, keep your plant in an area having plenty of bright filtered light.
Soil
Prefer fertile soil, preferably loose and loamy with adequate drainage.
Container
When choosing a pot, choose a pot that is 2.5-5 cm (1-2”) larger than the current size. Ceramic pots are porous which means your plants are less likely to experience root rot from overwatering. It also means you'll have to water more often. Plastic pots are lighter, less likely to break, and easier to clean.
