Camellia Standards
Camellia sasanquas make lovely container plants which can be kept in pots on your verandah or balcony for many years. Potted plants are best pruned annually after flowering to maintain their desired size. Every three years the plant should be removed from its pot and the outer 5cm or so of soil and roots removed. Re-pot with new potting mix preferably in late winter and your plant will happily grow in the same container indefinitely. Feed regularly in late spring and summer but never in autumn or winter. Winter feeding can result in leaves dropping and you could lose the entire plant.
