Additional Useful Information:

  • Soil Preference: 'Pure Silk' camellias thrive best in acidic to slightly acidic soils. Ensuring the soil pH is between 5.5 and 6.5 will promote healthier growth and more vibrant blooms.
  • Fertilizing: Feed with a camellia-specific fertilizer or a complete fertilizer designed for acid-loving plants in early spring and mid-summer to support its flowering and growth cycles.
  • Pest Management: While generally robust, watch for common pests like aphids and scale. Treat infestations early with horticultural oils or insecticidal soap.
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, being careful to keep mulch away from the stem to avoid rot.
  • Winter Care: In colder regions, protect from frost and harsh winter winds, which can damage the buds and flowers. A temporary burlap wrap or placement in a sheltered location might be necessary.
