FAQs
FAQs
When does Camellia sasanqua flower?
Typically through autumn and into winter, though exact timing depends on climate and care.
Can I keep it indoors year-round?
It does best with bright light and some direct morning sun — a bright window or a lightly shaded balcony/patio spot both work well.
Why do camellias need acidic soil?
Like azaleas, they're adapted to acidic, humus-rich soil; regular alkaline potting mix can cause yellowing leaves over time.
Is Camellia toxic to pets?
Camellia is generally considered non-toxic, with no significant documented concerns for cats or dogs.
