What is the region of origin of Teatree
Teatree’s native range is Western N. America - British Columbia to California.
What are the water needs for Teatree
Teatree should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Teatree
Teatree loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
What is the sunlight requirement for Teatree
To ensure optimal growth, the Teatree prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
How to fertilize Teatree
The Teatree should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.
