Eucalyptus Plant Care

In 2025 people are thinking about their health more than ever. Natural remedies and plants often get talked about, and Eucalyptus is always popular. Here is our complete guide to caring for this plant, and how to use it.

Sunlight

Eucalyptus plants prefer areas that receive 8 to 10 hours of full bright sun. If your eucalyptus is indoors, place it near a south-facing window so that it gets plenty of sunlight. If your eucalyptus is in your garden, be sure the soil drains very well. Likewise, if you're planting eucalyptus in a pot, use high-quality potting soil and a pot that has drainage holes to let out excess water.

Water

Water eucalyptus plant regularly. Eucalyptus plants are only partially drought-tolerant once their roots are established. Water regularly to prevent their leaves from drooping and falling off. If your Eucalyptus is outdoors, place a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture.

Humidity

They like any environment. Average household humidity will do just fine

Fertilizer: Fertilize your houseplants! Outdoor eucalyptus rarely needs fertilizer, but your indoor eucalyptus can benefit from liquid fertilizer every few weeks during the spring.

Upkeep: Prune eucalyptus plants as you see fit. The best way to keep that growth in check, and keep the plant healthy, is to regularly prune and shape it.

Eucalyptus Plant Information

Eucalyptus is a member of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. The majority of eucalyptus species come from Australia, while a few other species are native to Philippines and Malaysia.

Eucalyptus has always been used for decoration, woodworking, and very popular for medicines. It is known for its menthol-like fragrance, which comes from essential oils that are present in all parts of the plant.

Most species of this plant lose their leaves in the cold or dry seasons. 

Eucalyptus Benefits and Uses

Most people will recognize the scent of eucalyptus, but many don’t realize that this evergreen tree also has a wide variety of uses. Humans and Koala bears tend to use this plant most often, and in different ways.

Eucalyptus oils and essential extracts are commonly found in over-the-counter drugs, and other forms of medicines. Concentrated eucalyptus oil can be toxic when consumed, so please keep it away from pets and children. 

Using Eucalyptus in the Shower

Hanging eucalyptus in the shower allows you to breathe in the deep, minty aroma as it mixes with the steam. It is a distinct scent that releases your stress and helps you wind down.

It is common that people elevate their shower experience by hanging a bundle of eucalyptus stems from their shower head. Eucalyptus has shown to help with upper respiratory issues, which is why Eucalyptus essential oil is often an active ingredient in over-the-counter chest rubs and used with humidifiers.

Hanging eucalyptus in the shower allows the steam the release essential oils in the eucalyptus plant, which can aid in relieving congestion and inflammation related to sinus and bronchial infections.

Planting Eucalyptus 

When planting eucalyptus in Canada or the USA, choose a cold-hardy variety. Select a sunny location with well-draining soil, as eucalyptus plants prefer drier conditions and don't tolerate waterlogged soil.

Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball, and loosen the surrounding soil to promote root growth. Place the plant in the hole with the root ball at soil level, backfill, and water thoroughly.

Water regularly during the first season, but avoid overwatering. Consider growing eucalyptus in pots so they can be moved indoors during harsh winters.

Common Issues With Eucalyptus Plants

Eucalyptus tree remain relatively healthy when in their preferred environment, which admittedly is hard to replicate in Canada. In suboptimal conditions they can start to show certain issues. If caught early, there is no worry.


Leaves turning brown on a eucalyptus plant is usually a sign of too little moisture in the soil. Eucalyptus plants enjoy a lot of water, and a lot of sun.

Brown leaves is likely the issue if your leaves are curling or dropping. In this case, supply your plant with more water, and keep the soil moist but not soggy.

Is a Eucalyptus Plant Safe for Cats?

Eucalyptus plants are not pet friendly. Most pets will start to nibble and experience mouth irritation and stop. This is the same for eucalyptus plants and dogs as well. If your pet continues to eat the plant they will feel nauseous and possibly start to vomit.

We recommend that all plants be kept away from pets and children. Other than eating plants, kids and pets can knock them over, so please keep them high up, and away from issues.

A 5 year sentence
Style: -20-Degree, Size: 50-Foot
I’ve had this hose for 5yrs and it just sprang a leak and now I need to replace it lol. I’d say that’s pretty damn good for a hose that gets constant daily use. When the weather gets into the sub zeros it does freeze up, even with added heat tape and foam insulation around it all buried about half a foot underground. All in all, even with the freezing I’d say it was a great hose, very durable, not too stiff but a durable firmness, it connected very easily and with the thread tape on it never leaked.

Smart, Well-Built RV Sewer Hose Support
Size: 30-Foot
I’m quickly becoming a fan of Camco products—they’re smartly designed, well-constructed, and a great value. This 30-ft Sidewinder sewer hose support performs perfectly, providing a smooth and stable transition from the RV’s discharge hose to the septic system. I especially appreciate the Velcro storage strap that keeps everything neatly together when not in use. It’s flexible, durable, and easy to handle. Highly recommend this product to any RV owner looking for a reliable and practical hose support solution. Tip: Always get a longer support than your actual sewer hose length so that you can double up the support were needed. The support can never be too long, but too short could cause flow issues during your camping trip.

Light weight and easy to stage!!
Size: 10-Foot
I recently purchased the RV Sewer Hose Support with a collapsible design, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of convenience and functionality. Here's my review based on my experience with the product: Pros: Collapsible Design: The standout feature of this sewer hose support is its collapsible design. When not in use, it folds down easily and takes up minimal storage space in my RV. This is a significant advantage, especially in small RVs or when you have limited storage capacity. Stability: I have fully extended the support multiple times, and I'm impressed by its stability. The product doesn't wobble or tip over, even when I have my sewer hose filled with waste. This sturdiness gives me peace of mind, knowing that my hose is well-supported and less likely to leak or cause any mess. Durable Plastic Construction: The choice of durable plastic for the construction of this sewer hose support is a smart decision. The plastic is tough and can withstand the outdoor elements, including exposure to sunlight, rain, and occasional rough handling. I feel confident that this product will last me a long time, making it a worthwhile investment. Cons: Honestly, I haven't come across any significant drawbacks with this product. It has served its purpose exceptionally well, and I have no complaints about its performance. Overall, I highly recommend the RV Sewer Hose Support with a collapsible design. It addresses all the essential aspects you would want in such a product: ease of storage, stability, and durability. The collapsible feature makes it a breeze to pack up, and the stable support ensures smooth sewage flow without any mishaps. The durable plastic ensures that it can handle the rigors of outdoor use, making it a reliable addition to any RV owner's toolkit. Whether you're a seasoned RVer or just starting, this product will undoubtedly make your RVing experience more convenient and hassle-free.

Side Winder Hose Holder
Size: 15-Foot
The hose fits perfectly on top of the side winder. Does need to be manipulated a bit to keep hose from coming off the top. Super easy to set up and pick up when done. Very durable.
