| Oct 7, 2018 at 13:34 | comment | added | Bamboo | Okay, its your choice of course, but I will just say, one large bag (70 or 80 litre) of potting compost should easily have been sufficient to fill the half barrel... | |
| Oct 7, 2018 at 10:52 | comment | added | Bibin Chorickanpara | Thanks a lot for answering all my questions.. I bought this compost showing your ans and told the garden center that will help me to make my topsoil in barrel good for camellia .. my plan is to use this as a mix so that the topsoil will not go in waste .. otherwise I have to buy many bags to fill the whole barrel... | |
| Oct 7, 2018 at 9:35 | comment | added | Bamboo | If your link in the comment is what you bought, that isn't ericaceouis compost - its sphagnum moss, which, whilst useful to add to soil, is not a growing medium on its own. Link here to an example of ericaceous compost amazon.co.uk/WESTLAND-ERICACEOUS-COMPOST-GARDEN-CONTAINER/dp/… - Levingtons also make one, usually available at most garden centres. Colour in winter is difficult with a restricted choice, so pansies or the little pot cyclamens the garden centres are full of now. Note the cyclamens will only flower up till christmas - pansies will go on to April/May. | |
| Oct 7, 2018 at 8:52 | comment | added | Bibin Chorickanpara | I bought ericaceous compost .Right now I am having geraniums , but now when i change the compost will that one good .Which small palnts you can suggest in this ne compost that will give some color. | |

| Oct 5, 2018 at 14:49 | comment | added | Bamboo | Iron tonic only lasts a few months, it flushes out of the soil. If there's a lot of spare soil in the barrel, then its okay to add some temporary plants (pansies in winter, geraniums in summer, whatever) but after a year or so, if you find roots when you try to plant extra plants in there, or the Camellia has doubled its size, don't put anything else in. Its probably as expensive to keep using iron tonic as it will be to replace the compost with ericaceous... | |
| Oct 5, 2018 at 14:40 | comment | added | Bibin Chorickanpara | Thanks for answering .. My last question ,I am now using iron solution when a gardener advised me when its leaf turn yellow .So that will make soil acidic right?.. Even if I use new ericaceous compost ( as barrel is big I may have to spend lot) , will till gradually become non acidic after a while ?...As Camelia will flower only for a small period , I was bedding Gerunium to add a color. But planing that small plant affect the other one?.. | |
| Oct 2, 2018 at 23:07 | comment | added | Bamboo | Ah, so summer bedding around it, and a half barrel rather than a barrel. I still think its worth repotting into ericaceous compost - you'll be removing the summer bedding shortly anyway, so this month is a good time to do it. And don't add any plants to the half barrel next year ....at the size the Camellia is, it needs all that space for itself. You'll likely need a bigger pot in another year too...water in well after repotting, and keep well watered during hot weather. | |
| Oct 2, 2018 at 19:16 | comment | added | Bibin Chorickanpara | I have added few more photos.. The one with flower was taken while I moved the plant. it was around march- may time. I used top soil with compost . | |
