camellia

Question

I have had a Camellia planted for approximately 8 years, but although healthy, it has not flowered. Any advice?

Answer 1

Are you fertilizing regularly? If you are, the plant may be suffering from too much nitrogen. Try working bone meal into the soil to increase phosphorous, and use high-phosphorous fertilizer in the future, but not too much of it. A lack of phosphorus will cause a lack of blooms.
