How to Grow and Care for Tea tree

Tea tree, also known as Narrow-leaved paperbark, Narrow-leaved tea-tree, Snow-in-summer, Australian tea tree, Ti tree

Tea tree is a resilient plant that prefers well-drained soils and a sunny location to thrive. A special care point includes regular pruning to prevent fungal infections and encourage a compact growth habit. Watering should be moderate, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions, as tea tree is sensitive to overwatering which can lead to root rot.
