Tea consumption has a long history, and potted tea trees have only emerged in recent years. Tea tree grows slowly and has a unique shape. Leaves, flowers and fruits are excellent health-preserving ingredients, as well as good materials for high-quality potted plants and garden planting, and there is great room for future development.

A brief understanding of the origin of tea, the specific origin time of tea remains to be verified. The historical document Shennong Herbal Classic has its predecessor. At that time, it was not called tea, and its use was limited. A well-documented reference is the Book of Tea written by Lu Yu around 758 AD, which unified the definition of tea and has been in use ever since. Lu Yu is also known as Cha Sheng.

Tea trees are widely distributed. Due to language habits and other factors, the types of tea trees need to be unified. Tea trees in China can be divided into tree type, small tree type and shrub type. Because the shrub type is relatively low and has different shapes, it is a good material for bonsai. In addition to greening and purifying the air, tea bonsai is mainly embodied in three aspects: tree shape, camellia and edible. The specific content is introduced in the tea tasting section.

Tea trees like semi-shady, semi-dry, ventilated environment, and maintenance needs to pay attention to five aspects:

1. soil, no matter what kind of plant you raise, you should be familiar with the growing soil and environment of this plant. I wrote an article about soil before, which can be used as a reference for later lovers. Tea trees like slightly acidic humus sandy soil. Using this soil is not only nutritious, but also loose and breathable, which can make the roots of tea trees grow stronger.

2. Water, water the tea tree. According to the weather, water is usually poured once every three days to keep the soil slightly wet. If the air is dry, spray water every other day and never accumulate water. For indoor maintenance, as long as it is not too dry outside.

3, sunshine, tea trees, like in a cool environment, that is, semi-cool and ventilated places, such as balconies and windows are better places.

4. The pruning here advocates the original ecological pruning method. Only cut the useless side branches, and cut off one tenth of the shape, so as not to damage the health of tea trees. Let nature take its course is art.

5. transplant. The transplanting time is mainly in late autumn and early winter, and spring can be chosen in the north, depending on the actual situation. Appropriate soil should be brought when transplanting to ensure the survival rate.
