The Camellia japonica likes it cool and bright, but neither frost nor direct sun
The right location for the Camellia japonica
A real houseplant is not the camellia. However, she is not a garden plant. The Camellia japonica thrives best in the tub, which you can move to another location depending on the light and heat requirements.
Requirements for a good location
Camellias like it very bright, but do not tolerate direct midday sun. During the day they should get 16 hours of light. If necessary, help with plant lamps.
At ambient temperatures of 10 to 16 degrees, camellias thrive best. They then form many flowers that last a long time.
In summer, a place on the terrace is ideal, in winter you are looking for a sheltered location in the hallway or unheated greenhouse.
Tips & Tricks
Camellia japonica is not hardy. You can plant camellias in a sheltered spot directly into the garden over the summer. In autumn, you should dig out the plant but better and overwinter in the bucket.
