Why isn`t my Camellia growing?

New leaf buds appear but then leaf open it becomes brown and then shrivels.

Why isn`t my Camellia growing?
Get a fertillizer that lists camellias on the package as "recommended for". I switched fertillizer last year after my pathetic camellia didn't grow for the last 5 years. It was a little stick and the blooms would appear as buds and then turn brown and die. My neighbor's plant on the other hand thrived during the same time period and was a prolific bloomer. She said she uses a generic fertillizer that has more acid and is recommended for the camellia plant. I switched and the plant is finally filling out and there are actually flowers this year. Worked for me!
Reply:Hi, It could be too much water or not enough water or high humidity. Without knowing more info it is dffucult to say. Is it in a pot or the ground? What part of the country are you?
Reply:It need to be grown in acid compost or soil, if it isn't then you need to water it with a chelating compound, you can get that from a garden centre, and mulch it with an ericaceous compost.
