Tips for Growing Different Types of Eucalyptus

While growing conditions and care can vary depending on which types of gum trees you grow, most species do share similar needs that will help them thrive and grow their best.

Here are some useful tips for growing different eucalyptus plant:

• Always use well-draining soil and avoid waterlogged soil for extended periods
• Eucalyptus trees and shrubs need plenty of sun to thrive and grow well – plant them in a position that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily
