Seed germination, sowing instructions for Tea. Camellia sinensis is easy to grow from seeds. Tropical shrub or tree. The hard seed coat should be carfully filed or nicked a little to improve watering, then soaked in warm water for 24 hours. Sow in moist and warm slight acid soil. It usually germinates in 1 - 3 months. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse or indoors. Prefers the partial shade of a light woodland. Tea is not hardy in colder areas, it tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10 degrees C. It prefers a wet summer and a cool but not very frosty dry winter.
