I wish my camellia had green leaves and not yellow leaves :o(
It has lots of flowers.
Is in a pot...

I do give it some Eracacious feed 3 or 4 times a year just before and after flowering as our soil is slightly alkaline. Although I did dig in lots of eracacious compost when I planted it a few years ago.The leaves will go yellow if a lack Acid in the compost.

Thanks. Yes, I'm beginning to realise I've neglected my poor Camellia.
It has given me so many flowers this year, I feel quite guilty...
I'll make a note to feed it...

Can't imagine why. Did it ever flower. Have the leaves turned yellow? Presumably not , if you're feeding it with Ericaceous plant food. They aren't usually difficult to get flowers from even in a pot!
