Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number of plants per square metre; for Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana', allow for one plant per square metre. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of the plant.

Pruning a Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana'

Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana' benefits from minimal pruning. It is best to prune after flowering, around late spring. This helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy growth. Remove any dead, crossing, or protruding branches to improve air circulation. Cutting back spent flowers can promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant. Keeping tools clean prevents the spread of diseases. Regular pruning is not necessary, but occasional trimming keeps the shrub tidy and vibrant. This approach ensures the Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana' remains a stunning feature in the garden.

Watering a Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana'

Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers well-drained soil, so ensure excess water can escape, whether planted in the ground or in a pot. Watering deeply is more beneficial than frequent light watering. Check the soil regularly to determine if watering is needed. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry spells, increase watering frequency. Rainwater can be used as an alternative to tap water. While this plant is not highly drought-resistant, once established, it can tolerate short dry periods. Initially, supplement drip irrigation with hand watering until roots are well developed.

Fertilising a Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana'

Fertilising Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana' is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Using organic fertilisers is recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support the plant's vitality. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, ensure the garden is watered to help the fertiliser reach the roots effectively.
