What is Camellia?
Camellia is a plant that comes from China, but has also become popular throughout the southeast United States. They can grow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) high and their flowers can grow to 5 inches (12.7 cm) wide. Flowers usually have rounded petals that overlap, like roses. Another important feature of camellia is the leaves that are silky in the texture and remain dark green all year round. There are more than 3,000 hybrids, varieties and cultivars of camellia. The overall genus was named after the Jesuit missionary named George Kamel, who traveled around Asia and studied Flora.
The best type of soil for these plants is generally considered moist, acidic soil, but are usually customizable. At the beginning of the morning, the sun may sometimes cause flowers to turn brown and limp, so some people like to place the plants of camellia on the western sides of the western side. After the flowers fully matured in the spring, they can be cut. Mulch is usually placed on the base of plants because they have shallow roots that JE need to protect. Flower buds should be covered during frost. Partial shadow is usually considered ideal, but if they are planted in a colder climate, they will need more sun.
Use for Camellia varies, but in the landscape design they are used in formation hedges and Hranice. They can also stay in containers if containers grow in relation to the growth of the plant. If they are regularly maintained, they can adapt to the urban climate. In order to be able to flourish, Camellia must be regularly connected, but usually the soil should not be undulating because it can produce molds.

This can be prevented by means of insecticid sprays on plants as well as oil spraysoil. They usually work only if they are sprayed directly on insects. Oil oil sprays are often preferred because they are non -toxic to humans and pets and more environmentally friendly.
