camellia japonica progression...

[dom1959]

well, i hope! one of the flowers buds is starting to bloom!!

really these are fantastic trees for chams, i feel!

I love camellia's, reds are my fav. If anything were to happen to my ficus I might have to give one a try. Keep us updated on whether or not it buds. Is this in an inside cage?

Hmmm... I was considering this for Zaphod's enclosure. How often will it bloom indoors? Twice a year? Will it get too big too fast for an indoor enclosure?

 

[dom1959]

it is indoors,
i got mine from a local guy who almost prunes them
like a "bonsai". he feels if i keep up on the pruning
i can keep it indoors with my arcadia lights.
haven't had them long enough (1 with veiled and the veiled likes the leaves and 1 in jackson cage) should only bloom once and generally
around this time of year but will have to wait and see.

I love those plants, never thought about using one for Picasso, but I bet it would sure pretty up the enclosure when it blooms.

I've got two in the yard here in Fla. I have some flowers now as well.

They are great! Very hardy plants, and the flowers are so beautiful! Had one in my enclosure a while ago, it grown so much it doesn't fit in any more!!
