Iron Sequestrene is a good tonic for camellias as it helps them take up nutrients you are feeding them. Eriaceous compost only in pots, and daily "cup of tea" is good. You can eat the cake.
Just wondering whether the application of Sequestrene actually reverses the yellowing in leaves where this has happened, or whether it just stops things getting worse? I don't have a problem with my C. japonica but my little C. 'Yuletide' is bad. I didn't pick it up in time and have been looking at it mournfully all winter. Am I right in thinking I need to do the Sequestrene thing later in the spring? It is still flowering pretty well!

The first thing I would try is a feed with sequestered iron, but there is lots of advice on the previous page which would be useful as well
