Camellia Japonica

Light

• Prefers partial shade; ideally, it should receive morning sunlight and afternoon shade.
• Avoid direct harsh sunlight, especially in hot climates, as it can scorch the leaves.

Soil

• Requires well-draining, acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 6.5).
• Amend soil with organic matter like compost or pine bark to enhance acidity and drainage.

Watering

• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Water deeply to ensure the roots get enough hydration, especially during dry spells.
• Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues.
