Camelia - is not just a beauty shrub, Camelia is a perfect herbal. For example - tea from Camelia's flowers and leaves reduces level of cholesterol in our blood...
If you want to grow your own Camelia and use it for your health, you can do it by planting a cutting.
All you need to do is just plant the scion into a pot with good quality soil and cover it with a plastic bag (prevents evaporation) for 3-4 months. Do not remove the narrow strip of paper from the bottom of the sprout - it was soaked by natural stimulator of roots growing - plant the sprout into a soil with it.
During shipping your cutting is stimulated by root stimulator for root growing...
I make all necessary preparations for the cutting to be ready for planting, including all the steps below and in the photos:
1 - Covering all cuts with natural beeswax (I'm a beekeeper) to protect against dehydration and bacteria.
2 - Removal of outer bark layer
3 - Keeping the base of the cutting in Aloe Vera leaf for 24 hours
4 - Wrapping the base of the cutting with a paper towel moistened with honey water
5 - Wrapping the cutting in a plastic bag with a moistened and adding aloe Vera juice paper towel.
All cuttings are wrapped by wet paper and plastic for evaporation protection.
All cuttings are cut in my garden just after your order and they are wrapped immediately.
