Lemon Scented Tea Tree Seeds . 

 

HOW TO GROW TEA TREE :


Step 1
Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of each pot or seed tray filled with a moist, well draining seed raising mix - add up to 20% propagating sand if needed for drainage. Sprinkle a small amount of soil over the top barely covering the seeds and moisten lightly with a spray bottle to avoid disturbing the seeds. Place into a warm, filtered sun position. Leptospermum seeds need to be kept warm to ensure germination so place them into a greenhouse or cover them with plastic kitchen wrap. A heat mat may be needed if you cannot provide these temperatures. The optimal temperature for germination is between 20-25°C/ 68-77°F.

Step 2
Keep moist but not wet with a mist spray as the top of the soil starts to dry out. Do not allow the soil/medium to completely dry out as this will kill the seeds. Seeds should germinate after 2-3 weeks.

Step 3
Once sprouted, move tray to sunny position, that is protected from strong summer sun in the afternoon. Keep soil moist but not wet! Transplant the stronger seedlings into their own pots once necessary and they have 2-3 leaves.

Step 4
Once established, will survive cold down to -5°C/23°F but will need protection from wind and frosts while still a seedlings and young plants. Additional water advised during summer. For the first full summer, move to a shady position during hot days. Final position should be full sun to light shade and not planted out until the last frosts of winter have passed. Lemon Scented Tea Tree plants can start producing flowers in their second full growing season but can sometimes take 2-3 years.
