CARE GUIDE

How to keep Camellia Grijsii.

Water

Camellia grijsii thrives in high humidity and requires consistent moisture to remain healthy. Although it can tolerate drought, for optimal growth it should be watered every 1-2 weeks. As an evergreen, Camellia grijsii retains its foliage year-round, which means its water needs remain steady throughout the year.

Pruning

Camellia grijsii features glossy leaves and vibrant flowers. To keep the plant healthy and enhance its appearance, it is best to prune in early spring. During this time, remove any dead or diseased branches, shape the canopy, and thin out overcrowded areas. This process helps improve flowering, maintain the plant's size, and encourage rejuvenation by allowing you to remove up to one-third of the growth.
