The genus Camellia<\/strong> is directly related to the tea family. This genus unites about 80 species of various plants. It occurs naturally in the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast and East Asia, Korea, the Philippines, and about. Java, Japan, and the Indochina Peninsula. Naturalist and priest G.I.Kamelius was the first to bring these plants from the Philippines to Europe, which were later named after this worthy man.<\/p>\n

This genus is represented by fairly compact evergreen shrubs and trees. Simple glossy leaves with an elliptical or ovoid shape, leathery to the touch. There are leaves with both pointed and blunt ends, and they grow separately or in 2 or 3 pieces. The flowers have many stamens and are colored pink, red, white, and there are also variegated forms.<\/p>\n

There are very decorative species that have very spectacular flowers and foliage. Camellia at home with good care grows, develops, and blooms within normal limits, and it can also bear fruit. Newcomers to floriculture often make a number of care mistakes when growing camellia, for example, the plant happens: there is little light, too hot, there is not enough moisture, or the wrong soil mixture is selected for planting it. And this can lead to the death of the flower.<\/p>\n
