Here’s a complete care guide for Camellia japonica – Japanese Camellia 🌸:

🌿 Overview

  • Botanical Name: Camellia japonica

  • Common Name: Japanese Camellia

  • Family: Theaceae

  • Type: Evergreen flowering shrub

  • Origin: Japan, China, Korea

☀️ Light

  • Prefers bright, indirect light or morning sun with afternoon shade.

  • Avoid harsh midday sun — it can scorch the leaves and buds.

  • In cooler regions, it can tolerate more sunlight.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Ideal temperature: 15–25°C.

  • Protect from frost and extreme heat.

  • Likes moderate to high humidity; mist leaves or use a humidity tray if air is dry.

💧 Watering

  • Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

  • Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.

  • Use rainwater or filtered water if possible (Camellias dislike hard water).

  • Avoid waterlogging — roots rot easily.

🌱 Soil

  • Needs acidic, well-draining soil.

  • Ideal pH: 5.5–6.5.

  • Best mix: equal parts peat moss, pine bark, and perlite or use azalea/rhododendron potting mix.

🌸 Fertilizer

  • Feed once a month during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with an acid-loving plant fertilizer.

  • Stop feeding during late autumn and winter while buds develop.

  • Avoid over-fertilizing; excess salts can burn roots.

✂️ Pruning

  • Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead or weak branches.

  • Avoid pruning late in the season — it may remove next year’s flower buds.

🪴 Repotting

  • Repot every 2–3 years in spring after flowering.

  • Use fresh acidic potting mix.

  • Choose a slightly larger pot each time with good drainage.
