Effortless Germination for a Thriving Garden:
Our comprehensive guide makes it simple to grow your own Lemon-Scented Tea Tree from seed.
Here’s a glimpse of your journey:
- A Warm Welcome: Simply sprinkle the seeds on a bed of moist, well-draining soil. A warm, sunny spot and a bit of humidity are all they need to awaken. The ideal temperature for germination is between 20-25°C.
- Gentle Nurturing: Keep the soil consistently moist as your seeds sprout in just 2-3 weeks. A light misting is perfect for these delicate beginnings.
- Thriving Growth: Once your seedlings emerge, they'll thrive in a sunny position, growing into robust plants. Protect them from harsh frost in their first year, and they will reward you with resilience, tolerating temperatures down to -5°C once established.
- Aromatic Rewards: In just a couple of seasons, you can expect a beautiful display of flowers, attracting bees and beneficial pollinators to your garden.
