Morning folks, Having received a gift of this white Camellia. I waited until it finished flowering before digging it up and replanting it. Taking as much of the root ball as I could (seemed rather small), I dug a hole a good bit bigger than the pot, backfilled with ericaceous compost and watered it in well, ensuring the level was the same as before firming it in and making a cone around its trunk. I'm no expert but I hope it'll flourish with the start I've given it.
