Tea Plant Care

Tea plant care
In its wild state, tea grows best in regions which enjoy a warm, humid climate with a rainfall measuring at least 100 centimetres a year. Ideally, it likes deep, light, acidic and well-drained soil. Given these conditions, tea will grow in areas from sea level up to altitudes as high as 2,100 metres above sea level.
Do tea plants come back every year?
Sweet Tea is perennial and once established will come back from the roots every spring. The plants linger through the winter with very few small leaves at the base of the plant. It begins to slowly put on new growth in early spring.
Can tea plants be grown in pots?
Growing Tea Plants in Containers Tea plants can also be grown in containers, this is a great way to be able to move the plant around when needed. Especially in the first few years of the plant becoming hardier to the colder winters. The plant may need bringing inside.
Do tea plants like sun?
Light: A half-day of sun or more is best. In colder climates, plants will look better if protected from winter sun and winds. Soil: Tea plants like well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.5 or lower); in pots, use a camellia/azalea mix.
