camellias not flowering
Hello,
I moved to this house last year and I found that there is a camellia in the garden which doesn't have any flower. I asked from a neighbor and found that after the previous owner moved it from front garden to back garden, it stops flowering. What is the problem and how I can fix it? It has green leaves and everything seems ok with it but no flower! Regards |

Mulch it well with peat or other coarse acid compost such as well rotted pine needles. Keep it watered during the summer (say once a week, one large watering-can full, twice in really hot weather). Feed it several times between now and early July with ericaceous feed as per instructions on the package. In July, give it a couple of feeds with a high-potash fertiliser such as tomato feed. This will encourage the flower buds to set in early autumn, for next year's flowers. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
