How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Sow seeds 1–2 cm deep in moist, well-drained soil. Place in a shaded or partially sunny location. Keep soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. Germination may take several weeks, as camellia seeds grow slowly.

How to Grow

Grow camellias in partial shade with rich, slightly acidic soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Apply organic compost or slow-release fertilizer during the growing season. Mulch around the base to retain moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.
