I inherited a huge Camellia in a small pot from a church member and I'm so terrified to transplant but it definitely needs it so wish me luck this video will help me a lot.

Does camellia love water and how often should I water it?

[merylwhite]

I'm and Aussie and absolutely love Camellias and your advice, What is the name on this particular red one please?

[Cerise-bytg]

Love the video but the music makes it difficult to hear.

[DARKRANGER-]

Do you normally mulch the soil with some bark or grit ?

[annieswanson]

Mine have lots of buds but they do not fully bloom and then rot, what am I doing wrong?😞

[sharonhawes]

Is it true that they don’t like early morning sun? I have mine on a north facing wall, is that okay? Plus, as it’s now coming in to bud should I be feeding? Great video thank you, very informative. Sharon

[ChristinaB-fe]

Thank you for your video. Ich habe am Wochenende eine Kamelie geschenkt bekommen, leider fallen die Blüten ab!😢 was kann ich tun??

[lindaalden]

Mine is 5 ft tall in a pit, but the plant is tightly packed not open as others are, why do you think this is.

[LegendaryPotata]

hopefully it'll help me get to 1million pp

[MarieBrowne-hy]

Can I move a camellia from one spot in the garden to another.
