Camellia buds not opening

Question

I live in the mountains of Mexico. I bought a camellia about 2 months ago. I do not know what type. Also, the leaves have brown spots on them. Can someone help me? Thanks Dj

Answer 1

My advice would be to return the plant to the store from which you purchased it - any reputable store should have a return policy for diseased plants. Yours sound like it has petal blight - read more here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/camellia/identifying-and-fixing-problems-with-camellias.htm
