CULTIVATION
Misty Magic
Camellia plants thrive in humid, temperate climates with rich, well-drained, acidic soil, often flourishing in the misty highlands of China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
They prefer dappled sunlight or partial shade, as too much direct sun can scorch their delicate leaves, while consistent moisture is essential for healthy growth.
Traditionally cultivated on terraced hillsides and shaded groves, Camellia plants are carefully pruned and nurtured, allowing their lush foliage and exquisite blossoms to flourish year after
