Two years ago it was with great difficulty removed from its pot, its roots cut back and fresh ericaceous compost added. |
However, I do now possess land with ericaceous soil where I could grow camellias if I chose. |
Camellias like acid soil so plant in a clay pot filled with ericaceous compost. |
Like other ericaceous plants, blueberries must be grown in acid soils so if azaleas and camellias do well in your garden, these will too. |
Eradication of wild blueberries or other ericaceous plants in the vicinity of the blueberry planting is advised. |
In early spring, apply a top dressing of ericaceous compost to give the plant a boost. |
