Can anyone offer any advice on taking Camelia cuttings? Also, mine doesn't really flower very well, is the most likely cause lack of feeding & if so which is the best type of plant food? Thank you
They don't like to be dry Joob - especially in late summer when the new buds are forming. Keep it well watered and add a mulch if that's the case. A tomato food will help with flowering or simply improving the soil round them with B,F and Bone.
I think they also layer well Dave, although I've never tried that.

Camelias are pretty easy cuttings to take Joob. Have a look at the link

It also gives advice on feeding. In general lack of flowers mean a lack of food or poor conditions both of which are easily rectified.
