| Hello everybody,
I'm more or less posting this for a friend of mine. He has got a Camelia wich uptil recent times did well. Now though it seams to be dying. I searched the internet for a cause but haven't really been able to come up with one. I posted some links to pictures of the plant also describing the problems. In general it sheds a lot of leafs. I would be gratefull for any help. Regards,

| The plant seems need repotting. You can do it next late Feb. At the same time you can examine the root. Wash off compact soil if it is nessary. Use a larger cylinder-type plastc container with good drain, about 5 gal. Good potting soil formulated specially for camellia is necessary. You can even add 20% of very small fir bark. The plant also need fertilizer, using cotton-seed meal or fish emulsion solution fortified extra with chelated iron elements early next spring. Hope it will recover nicely. We know it is a slightly slow process. |
