Even under the best of circumstances, problems with camellias can and do occur. However, learning how to identify and fix common camellia problems before they become an issue is the best solution. Common Camellia Problems C. sinensis plant, with cross-section of the flower (lower left) and seeds (lower right) C. sinensis
In Brazil, the camellia was a symbol of abolitionist movement during the Imperial Age. It was common practice for abolitionists to plant camellias in a show of solidarity. [28] Today camellias are grown as ornamental plants for their flowers; about 3,000 cultivars and hybrids have been selected, many with double or semi-double flowers. C. japonica is the most prominent species in cultivation, with over 2,000 named cultivars. Next are C. reticulata with over 400 named cultivars, and C. sasanqua with over 300 named cultivars. Popular hybrids include C. × hiemalis ( C. japonica × C. sasanqua) and C. × williamsii ( C. japonica × C. saluenensis). Some varieties can grow to a considerable size, up to 100 m 2, though more compact cultivars are available. They are frequently planted in woodland settings, alongside other calcifuges such as rhododendrons, and are particularly associated with areas of high soil acidity, such as Cornwall and Devon in the UK. They are highly valued for their very early flowering, often among the first flowers to appear in the late winter. Late frosts can damage the flower buds, resulting in misshapen flowers.

Camellias like a soil pH between 4.5 and 6.5, and azalea and camellia fertilizer acidifies the soil as it feeds the plant. Different brands of these special fertilizers vary in the percentage of nutrients, so read the label and follow the instructions for the brand you choose. Li, X.; Shen, S.; Deng, J.; Li, T.; Ding, C.

Nilgiri is from a southern region of India almost as high as Darjeeling. Grown at elevations between 1,000 and 2,500m (3,300 and 8,200ft), Nilgiri teas are subtle and rather gentle, and are frequently blended with other, more robust teas. [ citation needed]
