What kind of soil do you need to grow tea?

First, the choice of soil 1, tea has higher requirements for soil, because the quality of soil largely determines the quality of plants. Tea trees will breed bacteria, take root and sprout, and the juice of roots will also produce organic acids, which determines that acidic soil must be used when planting, and the general PH value is between 4.5 and 6.5, which is more conducive to the development of roots.

2. Tea trees have no other requirements for soil types. Red soil, sandy loam soil and yellow soil can all grow well, mainly depending on water retention and permeability. They should go deep into the soil layer above 1 m to ensure drainage, and the calcium content should not be too high, preferably below 0.2%.

3. Large-scale tea gardens are generally suitable for hills, so the terrain drainage effect is good. It is best to be in the sunny place on the south slope, where light can reach and no water will accumulate when it rains.

Second, the planting method when planting seedlings, level the garden soil, dig planting ditches, lift the seedlings by hand, plant vertically, so that the roots have loose space, and then gently press them by hand after filling the soil.
