I have a camellia that has outgrown it's pot and a bigger pot would be too expensive and impossible for me to move what is the best way to move plant it into the border? and when?
Reply to creditmuncher:Last summer I moved a large bed of camellias, and rhododendrons, some of which had to have their roots severly chopped in order to remove them. I was amazed that we didn’t lose a single one and they flowered better than they had done for years. Please do remember they need ericacious soil (acid) and water them in really well. We had about a week of heavy rain after we planted them and I suspect this did them the world of good. Good luck!
I transplanted a large camellia last summer, not ideal but it has been doing really well (but didn't flower) until about 3 weeks ago most of the leaves have turned brown. I gave it some compost for camellias but it is not looking happy. Should I prune back the branches? Any help would be appreciated
i have 4 camellias that i grow in large pots, have had them for quite a few years but now 2 of them have lots of black insects on the underside of leaves that make the leaves curl also it seems to encourage the ants i have washed them off but they come back in a couple of days hope you can help
Just love Carol's scarves - does she knit them herself? She always puts such great colours together.
Pattern please Carol then I will have something to do whilst himself is digging for victory (and not planting any of the stuff I like, fennel, rocket and the like!
My camellia has a sooty powder on it's leaves, how can i solve this problem? it has been suggested to me to use a mixture of white oil and detergent and water, is this the correct solution to my problem? I have recently moved into my house and the garden was already laid, i have never grown a camellia. Any help would be appreciated.

When is the best time to take cuttings off a camellia plus how do you do it.
Thanks in anticipation
