Help with camellia please
One of my camellias isn’t doing well, no buds yet. It’s been a bit neglected at my daughter’s and has only just come back to me
The one that’s been in my garden all the time is doing well with good colour and buds
What can I do to help the sickly one ?

feed and water well through the summer. It needs the moisture to help it make and set buds.

Will be happier in the ground or even in a larger pot. The roots will eventually displace the compost so will need watering and feeding more often.

Thank you very much. I’ll feed it and make sure it doesn’t dry out. When’s a good time to re-pot it and how much bigger ?

When ever you have the time is as good as any.
Pot should be about twice the size (diameter)as the one in the image.
Grandmother and eggs, don't forget to use Ericaceous compost.

Feed with a specialist Camellia food.
