Update on my seeds

So I soaked my seedlings and this is how they’re looking :( a few people told me they looked to dry and none have sank. Has anyone had luck sprouting seeds that didn’t sink? I’m going to try sprout some Hibiscus sabdariffa anyways. Where have you guys sourced your camellia sinensis seeds?

How to prune for maximum harvest? (Total plant amateur)

I got this tea plant about a month ago. Its the “tea breeze” cultivar, bred to survive the cold here in British Columbia, Canada.

After struggling to give it proper soil conditions, I have finally managed to (I think) make it happy, though I am still working on lowering the soil pH.

Ive done lots of research and I still cannot understand how exactly the pruning works!! This is the first plant I have ever grown and I need someone to simplify the process so I can get a larger harvest next year and not kill my plant. I don’t care about making it easy to harvest, I just want a lot of tea.

My seeds!

Hi guys! Look what just got delivered today 🥰 one of my seeds came cracked and I’m wondering if it’s okay to soak per the directions. Thanks in advance! Side note I’m also in zone 10b

Tea Seedlings Update

Original Post Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Teacultivation/comments/1qt722z/tea_seedlings/

Just a brief update on my tea seedlings: All of the seedlings that died back when transplanted sent up new shoots, and the two with roots eventually sent up leaves, so I have a total of 21 seedlings. They have all been moved out to the screened-in porch since the weather is now consistently safe temperature-wise. I hope they like the change.
