Eucalyptus houseplant care
The eucalyptus plant loves full sun! So, make sure you choose a location with sufficient light and sun. The plant also grows rapidly, both indoors and outdoors. So make sure you have a spacious pot so the roots have room to grow. It's best to choose a slightly taller pot so the roots can grow downwards. Water the eucalyptus regularly, but don't let the soil dry out. Water a little more in the summer. The plant can tolerate drought for a while, but the leaves will wilt. The plant will recover from this, but you should wait until it produces new leaves.
Buy Eucalyptus gunnii Azura
The Eucalyptus gunnii Azura is a somewhat slower-growing and more compact Eucalyptus plant, ideally suited for indoor use. Its young leaves are characterized by silvery-blue to grayish-green, which emit a strong menthol scent when broken. The Gunnii Azura is not 100% winter-hardy, but it is more resilient than the common Eucalyptus Gunnii. Therefore, it can be used both indoors and outdoors, but a sheltered location or winter protection from severe frost is recommended.
