The shrubs can grow into substantial bushes of <u>+<\/u> 4 m high and 2.50 m wide. Camellias bloom with large flowers from February to April. Flowers are predominantly pink, red and white.<br>\n<em>Camellia <\/em><i>Japonica<\/i> is most commonly used in the ornamental garden. Camellias like humus-rich, somewhat acidic soil; lime is poorly tolerated. Plant the camellia in a sheltered spot in semi-shade: not in full sun, nor in a windy spot, nor against a wall. Buds need coolness to sprout. Camellias are prone to drying out in summer (sun) and in winter (wind). Camellias are somewhat hardy, although the flowers may be affected by night frosts in early spring. Fertilize in March and in June\/July.<br>\nIn areas with hard, calcareous water, use rainwater for the camellia; rainwater is lime-free.<br>\nCamellias do well in containers and large pots. Move the container-grown camellia to a sheltered spot in shed or garage in autumn. In the fall, also water regularly (once every few weeks). Fertilize the container-grown camellia when the buds begin to swell in spring. Annual repotting is not necessary; change the topsoil in early spring. Camellias in greenhouses are sensitive to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/aphids\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Aphids are small, plant-eating insects; see: overview aphids, aphid, black bean aphid, black cherry aphid, catalpa aphid, cabbage aphid, currant blister aphid, green peach aphid, green apple aphid, holly aphid, Hydrangea scale, Scale insect, mealybug, lettuce-root aphid, woolly beech aphid, cypress aphid.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\" class=\"encyclopedia\">aphids<\/a>.<br>\nCamellias can be pruned; this will not be much, as they are slow growers.
