HOW TO GROW

JELLY BUSH

Step 1

Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of each pot or seed

tray filled with a moist, well draining seed raising mix - add

up to 20% propagating sand if needed for drainage.

Sprinkle a small amount of soil over the top barely covering the

seeds and moisten lightly with a spray bottle to avoid disturbing 

the seeds. Place into a warm, filtered sun position.

Leptospermum seeds need to be kept warm to ensure 

germination so you can place them into a greenhouse if

you have one; or cover them with plastic kitchen wrap.

Optimal temperature for germination is 20°C/70°F.

A heat mat may be needed if you cannot provide these

temperatures.

Step 2

Keep moist but not wet with a mist spray as the top of the

soil starts to dry out.  Do not allow the soil/medium to 

completely dry out as this will kill the seeds.

Seeds should germinate after 2-3 weeks.

Step 3

Once sprouted, move tray to sunny position, that

is protected from strong summer sun in the afternoon.

Keep soil moist but not wet!

Transplant the stronger seedlings into their own pots once 

necessary and they have 2-3 leaves.

Step 4

Once established, will survive cold down to -5°C/23°F

but will need protection from wind and frosts while still

a seedlings and young plants. Additional water advised 

during summer.

Final position should be full sun to light shade and not 

planted out until the last frosts of winter have passed.
