Germination

Germinating Leptospermum rotundifolium seeds can be accomplished with these steps. Begin by preparing a well-draining seed-starting mix or a mix of equal parts sand and peat moss. Plant the seeds on the soil surface, gently pressing them down but not burying them, as they require light for germination. Water the soil thoroughly to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. To maintain humidity and moisture, cover the planting container with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap. Place the container in a warm location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Round-leaved tea tree seeds can be slow to germinate, often taking several weeks to a few months. During this time, maintain consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Once the seedlings have grown large enough and developed a few sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots or your garden, ensuring they have well-drained soil and receive full sun to partial shade. Leptospermum rotundifolium is a delightful addition to gardens, and with patience during germination, you can enjoy its aromatic foliage and attractive blossoms in your landscape.
