The right side is showing sings of nutrient deficiency. It might lack of iron or the soil is too alkaline ☺👍

@ublaszko I wondered why it was like that - tbh I think there’s two different camellia in there

I saw it on one of my camellias last year and it was iron deficiency but it could also be nitrogen deficiency. Iron deficiency starts as patchy foliage and yellowing between leaf veins with darker leaf veins (the top foliage affected the most). Nitrogen deficiency shows up as yellowing leaves but starts from older leaves. Might be worth checking the soil pH or adding Epsom salts or chelated iron tonic. The problem though is that one half (or one plant seems fine) seems fine. Odd.
