Planting Tips

Plant your Tea Plant in well-draining, acidic soil in a container with drainage holes, or outdoors in USDA zones 6-9. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and place in full to partial sun for best results. Regular watering helps establish young plants, but once mature, it becomes more drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage more blooms.
