Camelia

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with my Camelia, it has yellowing leaves but it is in fresh ericaceous compost, planted last year.

 

Looks fungal or possibly insect damage.
Its not Chlorosis.

 

Thanks, I thought it might be a nutrient deficiency but I'm not sure.

 

Could be virus damage , camellias can get various irregular leaf spots and variegation caused by virus.
It doesn’t usually affect the growing or flowering , although it could slow the growth , due to the lack of green in the leaf to take up sunlight and produce food.

 

Doesn’t look like a nutrient deficiency

 

Viruses, eh Blasted things get everywhere....

 

If it is infected with a virus should I destroy it ? Could the virus spread to other plants ?

 

I could be wrong but I think most plant viruses only affect closely related plants.
Personally I'd wait and see if it grows out of it this coming year.
