HOW TO LOOK AFTER EUCALYPTUS
Eucalyptus thrives best in a sunny spot, but can also grow well in partial shade. The plant does not lose much moisture through the leaves, so it requires little water. It is important to ensure well-drained soil so that both air and water can circulate easily, but be careful that the soil does not get too wet. Eucalyptus plants are particularly sensitive to too much moisture on the roots, so make sure the plant can’t suffer ‘wet feet’.
