About "Camellia Orchids"
Camellia is not an orchid, but rather a woody evergreen shrub from the family Theaceae. Many people confuse camellias with orchids because of their exotic, rose-like flowers and ornamental value. Popular species include Camellia japonica, Camellia sasanqua, and Camellia reticulata, each prized for winter-to-spring blooming when few other plants flower.
Care for Camellias
-
Light: Bright, indirect light; morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid hard water; rainwater is preferred.
-
Soil: Acidic (pH 5.5–6.5), loose, and well-draining with organic matter.
-
Fertilizing: Use acid-loving plant fertilizer (like for azaleas) during active growth, but avoid feeding when in bloom.
-
Temperature: Prefers cool climates; ideal range is 10–20°C (50–68°F). Protect from frost and extreme heat.
-
Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to shape and encourage branching.
-
Repotting: Every 2–3 years in spring; use fresh acidic potting mix.
