How to take care of the Eucalyptus Plant

Sun: Direct

Ensure your Eucalyptus plant gets ample natural light, preferably in a south-facing window. Rotate the plant periodically for even growth.

Light: Bright

Place your Eucalyptus plant in a bright location where it can receive direct sunlight for at least 6 hours per day.

Water: When half dry

Water your Eucalyptus plant deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as Eucalyptus prefers well-draining soil.

Humidity: Medium

Maintain moderate humidity levels around your Eucalyptus plant, as it thrives in slightly humid environments. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidifier, especially during dry winter months.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Eucalyptus plants are not considered pet-friendly, as their essential oils can be toxic to pets if ingested. Exercise caution and keep them out of reach of curious animals.

Pro Tip

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
