Don’t over prune or over fertilize. If you know how to air layer that is a good way to thin out the plants and multiply your plants. There are short films on You Tube to see how it is done. It is good to pick up dead flowers around base of plant. I found camellias a delight because I have not been successful in this area for carnations, peonies or roses and some varieties remind me of these that my grandmother grew.

Camellias also do not like full hot sun, they do best in dappled shade.

I have rose bushes that get this moss on them. It is green and I don’t know how to treat. On to something better, getting ready to put in summer garden and can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have recently relocated and was happy to find three Camellias at my new residence. However, they have apparently been neglected for several years, so it will take pruning and care to get them in better condition. What is the best type of mulch to use for Camellias?
