Leptospermum laevigatum is an evergreen shrub or small tree with an attractive twisting and spreading trunk that works well in informal gardens. The plants reach 20 to 30 feet in height as well as in spread when planted outdoors. Outdoor planting is possible in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, and container planting is possible in colder climates to allow for wintering over indoors. Australian tea trees are easy to grow and generally do not require fertilizing, unless grown in soil that is known to be nutrient deficient or in pots where they can consume the limited nutrients available in their potting soil before requiring repotting.
Watering with soft water in summer once a week, but very abundantly, and in winter every 8-10 days. The substrate must be slightly moist at all times. You can not allow both stagnation of moisture and complete drying of the earthy coma.
From spring to autumn every 2 weeks with complex fertilizer without lime. It is good to use organic fertilizers.
Ready-made rich weakly acidic (pH 4.5-6) general purpose soil is suitable. For the soil of own preparation, take 1 part of turf ground, 1 part of coarse-grained sand or perlite, 1 part of wet peat or humus, 1 part of leaf land. It can be grown in a mixture of peat and perlite (1: 1). Good drainage and a pot with a hole is required.
Requires regular strong pruning after flowering and pinching in the spring. It is better not to trim in autumn to ensure further flowering
