Contents of the Package:
- 5 seeds of Camellia sinensis 'Darjeeling'
Germinating the tea plant is among the longer cultivation processes, so it is essential to arm yourself with patience and ensure a stable warm environment for several weeks to months. Before sowing, we recommend thoroughly soaking the seeds in lukewarm water for 24–48 hours and then sowing them in an acidic permeable substrate that meets the requirements of this family. Young seedlings grow very slowly in the first years and gradually develop a typical branched structure with glossy leaves. In maturity, the plant begins to flower for the first time and provides characteristic leaves suitable for making home tea, although their processing requires proper knowledge of the technological process. In the European climate, the plant is best suited as a pot specimen in semi-shade, which can be placed outside in a protected location during summer and moved to a bright cooler room before winter. This package of 5 seeds of Camellia sinensis 'Darjeeling' is therefore an excellent choice for anyone who wishes to dedicate themselves to this classic tea plant in the long term.
