I have a camillia which I bought at the start of the year which was
just a single stem several inches tall.
It was potted up in erricatious soil and had now just grown into a much
taller and floppy single stem.
Should I prune this to make it bush out and if so when and how should I
prune ?
Some of them do have a lax habit. If you tell us which yours is, someone
may be able to advise you better.

Well we've lost the little marker with the info on but I'm pretty sure
it was a x williamsii of some sort
I think C. williamsii tend to be of an upright habit, so perhaps yours is a
bit floppy because it's new growth? Ray says that pinching out a bit of the
top shouldn't hurt but "don't overdo it"! If it's in a pot don't keep it
too wet, will you!

I've found the marker it's :- Camellia x williamsii'Mary Phoebe Taylor
Does that help give some more specific advise ?
Everyone seems to have answered the piggy backed question but not mine
, anyone ??
