Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Gem’ — White Camellia (D19 × H65 cm)
Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Gem’ is a remarkable variety with pure and refined white flowering. Its large double flowers, a bright white, contrast beautifully with its shiny dark green foliage.
A symbol of elegance and serenity, this camellia brightens balconies, terraces, or shaded garden corners. It blooms in winter and early spring, offering a poetic touch when nature rests.
Exposure & location
Camellia japonica prefers partial shade or soft morning light. It likes cool environments sheltered from wind and scorching sun.
- Ideal: east or north-facing balcony, shaded terrace, or bright understory.
- Avoid: full south exposure and calcareous soils.
- Perfect location: in a pot on a terrace, or in a sheltered bed with cool, acidic soil.
Verdeia tip: mulching at the base of the camellia helps retain moisture and protects roots from frost.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular, especially during flowering and summer — the substrate should remain slightly moist.
- Water: preferably non-calcareous (rainwater or filtered).
- Pruning: light after flowering, to maintain its compact shape.
- Maintenance: easy — a supply of ericaceous plant fertilizer in spring stimulates flowering.
- Level: moderate — it appreciates consistency, without excess water or prolonged dryness.
Remove faded flowers to encourage the production of new buds.
Decor ideas & plant associations
Camellia ‘Nuccio’s Gem’ brings a refined and zen touch to shaded spaces. Its white flowering pairs perfectly with deep foliage and soft plant textures.
- Visual look: chic contrast between shiny green and immaculate white.
- To pair with: ferns, hydrangeas, azaleas, or hostas for a harmonious composition.
- Ideal pot: matte ceramic or natural fiber to highlight its elegant sobriety.
- Where to place: sheltered terrace, shaded patio, or east-facing balcony.
In a pot, pair it with evergreen foliage plants for a lush scene all year round.
Verdeia tips
- Repotting: every 2 to 3 years in spring, in ericaceous plant soil.
- Substrate: acidic, fresh, and draining — mix of ericaceous soil and potting soil.
- Hardiness: excellent, down to -10 °C, but protect from cold winds.
- Flowering: from January to March depending on climate — each flower lasts several days.
In winter, place it sheltered from cold drafts to prolong flowering duration.
