Feed with an acid-forming azalea or camellia fertilizer in spring, after the flowers have dropped; fertilize again in the midsummer if growth seems sluggish or foliage looks sparse and begins to lose its deep green color (take care to water the plants the day before feeding in summer).
Turn an overgrown camellia into a smaller shrub in a two-phase process. In spring, after the blooming is finished, remove lower limbs and leave the top 1/3 of the shrub intact. The trunk will sprout new growth. The next spring, after blooming ends, cut the top of the shrub to the height you desire.
