Hey everyone! I'm looking to grow a tea plant (Camellia sinensis) in a pot at home and I'm wondering what the best type of soil is for it. Specifically, can I use coconut fiber by itself, or should I mix it with something else? I've read that the soil needs to be permeable and have a pH of around 5 to 6. I'd love to hear about your experiences and any recommendations you might have!

I've grown a bunch of tea plants and honestly, I just use regular potting soil without any issues. They're pretty resilient!
What kind of potting soil do you use? I’m in the Czech Republic too, and I’ve seen mixed advice about how sensitive these plants are to soil conditions.
