Can American tea be grown in the south?

American tea can be grown in the south. American tea likes light and has a certain degree of shade tolerance, but is not very cold-resistant. The climate in the south is relatively warm and humid, so American tea can be grown normally in the south.

American tea usually blooms in May and June, and the flowering period is relatively long. It only needs to be provided with diffuse light during maintenance. It is generally planted more in North America, mainly distributed in Sichuan and other places. In addition, the only American tea variety suitable for planting in the south is the one with purple flowers.

Tea Planting Technology in South America

1. Light: American tea is more suitable to be planted in a location with good light. Generally, sufficient light can make American tea grow more vigorously.

2. Fertilization: American tea is a fertilizer-loving plant. When caring for it, you can apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer when it sprouts in spring, and add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once before flowering.

3. Watering: American tea needs to be watered regularly during its growth. No water accumulation is allowed and the soil must be kept moist at all times.

4. Soil: Loose, nutrient-rich loam with good drainage and air permeability is the most suitable soil for growing American tea. Generally, it is best to plant it in a sunny place.
