Could this be root rot?

    I don't think this action is needed. On indoor watered plants and longterm potted plants, it's quite common. The main thing is, accept that it is less likely to thrive in the indoors. In the summer time let it have the sun and natural rain water.

    Are you sure? I understand that camellias are better suited outdoors, but they can be kept indoors and keeping them indoors alone should not cause this, this badly. If this issue is caused by fertilisation (which I think is likely) and flushing the soil can help then I don't see how it is unnecessary?

    It's totally up to you. Maybe someone else may offer more advice on this. You seemed convinced it may have been root rot at first, so have cut down with the watering and kept the soil free draining. I don't know what your leaves look like now, but from the pictures, if it remains the same, I think you don't need to do much. Just keep it near a window sill where there is some daylight.
