Care Guide

Orange Flowering Tea Olive Asia
Plant Care
  • Thrives in full sun to partial shade, needing at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fragrant blooms. In partial shade, it will still grow, but the blooms may be fewer and less intense. Suited for hardiness zones 7-10, depending on the species.
  • Water young trees deeply once or twice a week to help establish a strong root system. Once established, they become more drought-tolerant but still benefit from occasional deep watering during dry spells.
  • In some cultures, the tea olive tree symbolizes friendship and peace, making it a popular choice for gifting or planting in communal spaces and gardens!
Sad Plant Signs
