The Eucalyptus is a stunning plant with silvery-green leaves and a refreshing scent. Whether you go for the graceful Eucalyptus Gunnii or the elegant Eucalyptus Cinerea, this plant instantly adds a touch of Mediterranean charm to your garden, balcony, or home.

Origin

Eucalyptus comes from Australia and is best known as the koala’s favourite snack. In the wild, it grows into an impressive tree, but in a pot, it stays compact and easy to manage.

Care

Sunlight

Eucalyptus loves the sun! Place it in a bright spot where it gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Indoors, a sunny window is ideal.

Watering

Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid overwatering. In hot summers, it may need a bit more water.

Plant food

Feed it with a general or Mediterranean plant fertiliser during the spring and summer for healthy growth.

Toxicity

While Eucalyptus smells amazing and looks great in dried arrangements, its leaves are mildly toxic to pets if eaten.

Hardiness

Some Eucalyptus varieties can handle the cold, but young plants are more sensitive. If temperatures drop below -5°C, wrap the pot in jute or bring it inside.

A fragrant and versatile addition

Whether indoors or outdoors, Eucalyptus is a real mood-booster. Enjoy its lovely scent, calming presence, and easy care. A stylish choice for any plant lover!
