Question
Can you compost camellia blooms or not?

Answer
Hello Again Prince

Yes you can, but be aware that Camellia Leaves are prone to Fungal Diseases. Look at the leaves, and if you suspect that they have a Fungal Issue, discard them. I see no reason that you can't Compost the Blooms, although they have a high Ph Acid Content, so Monitor that by taking a Ph Test on a Regular Basis.


The Best of Luck
