💡 Care Tip: Allow your E.G. Waterhouse Camellia starter plant to acclimate in its original 3-inch pot for approximately 30 days before transplanting. Keep it in bright shade or gentle morning sun at first and gradually introduce it to stronger light. Maintain evenly moist, well-draining soil without allowing it to become completely dry or waterlogged. When repotting, move up gradually to a slightly larger container rather than placing the young starter plant directly into an oversized pot.
