Solutions: If flower withering is a natural progression due to age, there is nothing that can be done to slow or stop the process. The best solution is to remove the infected plants and dispose of the plant material off-site. If the plant is infected with a bacterial or fungal pathogen, there is no course of treatment that cures the diseased plants. Keep it off the leaves and make sure granular products are watered into the soil well. ![]() In the event of nutritional deficiencies, the best solution is to use a granular or water-soluble liquid fertilizer, and apply it to the soil at about half the recommended dosage.

Try not to prune heavily at flowering time, just the dried flowers need to be pruned back as this will affect flowering. As you are pruning your Broom tea-tree, step back occasionally to check the appearance of the plant to make sure it has the shape you want and that you are pruning it symmetrically. Make each cut at a 45° angle to encourage healthy new growth. For your major pruning, use sharp pruning sheers that will make clean cuts to avoid damaging your plants.

So we propagate through cuttings, and after 12–15 months, a cutting, if successfully propagated, will grow roots, and we will then be able to transfer this tiny seedling to the tea estate. If you grow from the seeds, it would take much longer and also you would not be able to ensure a consistent crop. This is to ensure genetic consistency and consistency in taste and quality.
