Growing Camellias In Containers. Planting camellias in pots. Pot up into a container that is no more than one pot size larger than what the plant is growing in now.
Do not use garden soil in the container it is very alkaline for this you should use the ericaceous or multi purpose potting compost. Eventually a camellia will require a container about two feet wide and deep as it reaches maturity. Your camellias in containers will benefit from regular fertilizing.
Alongside our old barn i have 16 camellias in lead planters to prevent them tipping over when they become top heavy.
