Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eCamellias prefer moist but well-drained soil when establishing themselves, but are quite drought tolerant when established. Once established, regular rainfall should provide sufficient watering, but in times of drought, water only as needed to keep the rootball and surrounding soil damp but not overly moist. Camellias cannot tolerate constantly soggy or wet soil conditions, which often leads to the onset of root rot and other harmful plant diseases, so be careful not to over water! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen planting camellias in less that fertile soil that is low in organic matter, mix an organic soil amendment, such as mushroom compost, composted manure, or your own homemade compost, at a 50\/50 ratio with the soil removed from the planting hole. This will help get your plants off to a good start by stimulating root growth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first spring, fertilize your camellias in late winter with a fertilizer made for azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons (for acidic soil) or a shrub and tree fertilizer that contains sulfur and\/or iron. Fertilize again, if needed, lightly in late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePruning is not necessary, but if desired, you can prune camellias to maintain fullness or shape, to form into a small tree, or to revitalize an older plant. Prune damaged or dying branches just after the blooms have faded for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":48860156493994,"sku":"30099","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/vyg7vfj3ip12_df011311-4640-4a1c-8892-ed90f1fca07c.jpg?v=1784864655","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/slim-n-trim-camellia-jbj1bm","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
