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).
Zone: Most camellia varieties are hardy in zones 7-10, but some, such as the Monrovia Ice AngelsÂ® series, are hardy to zone 6. Soil: Camellias need slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5); they donât grow well in soils with a high pH and will exhibit signs of stress, including yellowing leaves, if the soil is alkaline. Moisture: Camellias do not tolerate wet feet; itâs essential that you site them in an area with well-drained soil.
