Do Camellias love fresh air?
YES. Put indoor plants at summertime into the garden, best in partial shade. However, the vegetative development of seedlings and young plants (newly rooted) can considerably benefit with a culture in a closed room under the following conditions: Constant temperature of 25C, air humidity between 60 and 80% (not higher!), high intense light (metal halide lamp) of 18 hours daily. Ventilate the room daily for a short period to get rid of any ethylene (see smoking item above). In this environment, young plants may produce up to 6 shoots per year. Fertilize every week. Plants can be kept up to two years in a closed room. However, be careful when adopting them to real outdoor life.
