Effects of Soil pH on Root Uptake, Accumulation of Aluminum, and Growth Enhancement in Camellia
Rylee Rejonis and Charles L. Guy
Camellias grow better in acidic soils, which have a lower pH that can affect nutrient uptake. Aluminum is more easily taken up at these lower pH levels. Camellias, being aluminum accumulators, can benefit from aluminum uptake. This publication is intended for those growing camellias in their gardens and those interested in the uptake and effects of aluminum on these plants.
