How often should I water my camellia?

Camellia does not require much water, so the watering time is not regular. Generally speaking, as long as the soil in the pot is dry, it should be watered. Just keep the soil moist, so it is best to follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when watering. This will make the camellia grow stronger. When watering, it is best to choose collected snow water, well water or river and lake water.
