EUCALYPTUS PLANT CARE
Eucalyptus plants are popular for their aromatic foliage and are often used in floral arrangements, potpourri, and for their medicinal properties. Growing eucalyptus indoors can be challenging, but it's possible with the right care. Here's a guide:
Sunlight
- Full Sun: Eucalyptus plants thrive in full sunlight. Place them in a south-facing window where they can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If direct sunlight is limited, provide as much bright, indirect light as possible.
Watering
- Moderate Watering: Water eucalyptus plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Humidity
- Humidity: Eucalyptus plants prefer moderate humidity levels. Increase humidity by misting the foliage occasionally or using a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments.
Temperature
- Warm Temperatures: Eucalyptus plants prefer warm temperatures between 18-29°C during the day and above 10°C at night. Protect them from cold drafts, as they are sensitive to frost.
