Eucalyptus is a southern tree that will decorate your home or garden. In addition, useful and fragrant essential oil is made from eucalyptus.
Eucalyptus trees can be grown from seeds that have a high germination rate for a long time. Seedlings are very capricious at the beginning of growth. Sowing is carried out in universal soil, mixed in half with sand, superficially. They are kept under glass or film at a stable temperature of about 18 degrees and at a constant substrate humidity of 95-100%.
Cut only strong and young cuttings from green branches. Before planting, it is desirable to process them in a growth stimulator (for example, in Kornevin). The shoots take root well in settled water or in a peat tablet. Eucalyptus loves moisture, so watering should be regular.
Eucalyptus loves a lot of light, so place your plant in a location in the landscape that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
Eucalyptus should be watered moderately, but often. A regimen of 2-3 waterings every 7 days is suitable. It is important to remember that excessive drought and overflow are equally detrimental to the plant. In special conditions of humidity, this species does not need, as well as spraying.
Eucalyptus prefers moist air, but does not tolerate spraying at all. You can put the container in a tray with wet expanded clay or install humidifiers. The plant needs ventilation, but the appearance of drafts is not permissible. It is recommended to feed Eucalyptus during the growing season.
