nicole starts with ... Hi all. I have just purchased a lovely Camellia sinensis which I plan to keep in the house by our north-facing window. I noticed that the local Bunnings only had indoor pots which are self-watering. My question is, are self-watering pots better or worse for different plants? Can anyone advise if a self-watering pot is a good idea for a tea plant? Thank you! | About the Author nicole Melbourne 14th October 2014 11:44am #UserID: 5549 Posts: 5 View All nicole's Edible Fruit Trees |
Brain says... if you google camellia, you should get some good planting guides. After all, the tea plant is a camellia. I have a tea plant (daley) in a pot in a semi-shaded area. The trick is to not let the soil dry, but having said that, they also hate wet feet, so self-watering pot is prob not a good idea, unless you drain the water - which probably defeats the purpose. I dare say self-watering pots are great for plants with high water demand - like certain veggies. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 18th October 2014 10:56pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |
