unhappy camellia
By Petal12345

I had to move my camellia last year which up to that point had always been healthy and flowered, now its leaves are turning yellow and brown and dropping off. I didnt expect it to flower this year because of the move but it doesnt seem to be recovering at all, I bought it some food specific for camellias doesnt seemed to have helped either any other ideas really dont want to loose it was a lovely bush?

Step up the watering, soak it thoroughly, regularly. If it's been moved in the last year, and it was a good size, that will have stressed it and the root system may not have recovered sufficiently. I'm assuming it's in the soil, not in a pot, though the watering applies to both anyway

yellow is usually a magnesium defficiency but brown and dropping off usually means its dry, check the watering.
