Plant in a Box Eucalyptus Botanic Hearts P15 x2 - Set of 2 Eucalyptus

The unique Eucalyptus Botanic Hearts is native to the southeast of Australia and is a favorite food of koalas. This beautiful plant is very popular in the cut flower industry due to its heart-shaped green leaves that also emit a delightful fragrance. Eucalyptus is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The plant is moderately winter hardy, meaning it should be protected during severe frost. In its early years, the eucalyptus has round leaves that later become elongated. The eucalyptus leaf is often used for its aromatic oils. If you want to create the ultimate wellness experience at home, you can pour boiling water over a handful of eucalyptus leaves to create your own steam bath. This helps you breathe more freely. Additionally, it keeps mosquitoes and flies away, as they dislike the scent of eucalyptus.

Care
The Eucalyptus Botanic Hearts prefers a sunny location in well-drained soil. If you regularly prune the eucalyptus, it will remain a small shrub. If not, it can grow into a meter-high tree. How you prune your eucalyptus depends on your personal preferences. If you want to keep it compact, March is the best time for a trim.
