Care and Maintenance
To ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms, Camellia Japonica 'Rosea Plena' requires proper care and maintenance. Here are some essential tips:

Choose a location that offers partial shade, especially during the hottest parts of the day. The soil should be well-draining, acidic (pH 6-6.5), and rich in organic matter. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
3. Pruning
Prune Camellia Japonica 'Rosea Plena' after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or diseased branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may negatively impact next year's bloom.
