'Shay' the Philippine Tea Tree

$ 165.00

I’m Shay, the Philippine Tea Tree or Carmona Microphylla and native to Southeast Asia. I’m a medicinal plant in some countries, where my leaves are used as a tea substitute to remedy stomach ailments. I also get small white flowers throughout the year that hang like pendants, symbolizing courage and heart. 

Keep me indoors in winter, where I’m fine as a houseplant, in temperatures between 60 ̊-80 ̊F. If you’d like, I can spend some time outdoors in the shade when the weather is nice. I like humidity and take bright indirect light. Water about once a week, or when my pot feels light again. To water, submerge my pot in water up to the rim for 10-20 minutes. 

Symbolism:

The tea tree has medicinal values in Asia where leaves are used as a tea substitute to remedy stomach ailments. Its beautiful white flowers hang like pendants which symbolizes courage and 'heart'.

Includes care instructions. Plate sold separately.
