Can I Keep A Camelia Indoors In A Pot For The Winter?

Question

I just bought a camelia but would like to keep in a pot in doors for the winter. Is that ok?

Answer 1

You are in zone 7a so if you wanted to plant it outdoors, you could. (They are hardy in zones 7-9) If you leave it indoors, keep it away from heating vents and place it in the coolest part of the house. They need acidic, well-drained soil so be sure to use that if you repot.
