Planting Tips:
To ensure optimal growth and blooming, plant Stephanie Golden Camellia in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a location with partial shade, as it thrives in filtered sunlight. When planting, ensure the root ball is level with the soil surface. Space multiple plants about 4 to 6 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation.
Watering:
Consistent moisture is key during the establishment phase, so water regularly, especially during dry spells we recommend using MOISTURE MAXX non-ionic wetting agent. Once established, Stephanie Golden Camellia is relatively drought-tolerant, but it benefits from occasional deep watering, particularly in hot weather.
Mulching:
Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as pine straw or bark chips, around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds. Maintain a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch, avoiding direct contact with the stem to prevent potential rot.
Pruning:
Prune Stephanie Golden Camellia after flowering to shape and control its size. Remove dead or crowded branches to encourage air circulation, which helps prevent diseases. Light pruning will also stimulate new growth and enhance the overall appearance of the plant.
Fertilizing:
Feed your Stephanie Golden Camellia in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like HI-COTE 360 formulated for acid-loving plants. Follow the package instructions for application rates, and water thoroughly after fertilizing.
