They actually don't really smell until you rub the leaves or break some of them 🙉 I am tempted to take some leaves and rub them together every time I walk past on of these 😂
Some specificity would be helpful; there’s literally over 900 species of eucalyptus ranging from shrubs to 100m tall behemoths that grow from the tropics to alpine regions.
Hey, the ones in this video are E. cinerea (big blue leaves), E. gunnii (ones with smaller blue leaves) and E. dalrympleana (one with the greenish red leaves).
There are three different ones in this video. The biggest one with the big, round leaves is E. cinerea; the one in the blue pot and the one with the stones in the pot is E. gunnii; the smallest one is E. dalrympleana (I'm 95% sure on this one).
Hello, nice video! Do you think I can grow Eucalyptus from the leaves itself? I have got a nice flower bucket and would like to plant it. What is your recommendation?
Hey, thanks! I haven't heard of anybody successfully growing them from cuttings/foliage. The best way I know of is to start them from seed. They grow quite fast from seeds and a lot of species are easy to germinate.
The only reliable way I know of is by seed. They are easy to start and grow really fast under the right conditions. I have tried taking cuttings but have not been able to get any of them to root.
@@mutilenidiina4586 The website I order the seeds from is in the description; however, they now only ship within the UK. You will have to search around a bit depending on what country you're in to find someone who ships there.
This is super helpful, how do you overwinter them (I'm also in a temperate/cold clime, winters here are only slightly warmer than in Switzerland)? What kind of soil do you recommend; the "regular" well-drained bonsai mix or something different? Thank you so much
Thanks! I am experimenting with overwintering this winter 🥶 So far the one you see in the big black pot (Eucalyptus cinerea) has been fine till -5 Celsius and snow just standing in the garden. I overwinter some of the smaller ones inside in a south facing window but have to be really careful because if you overwater then they die quite easily when inside. I also have some in a cold frame, which seems to be working well too! Generally speaking though it depends on the species of Eucalypti, If planted in the ground a lot of them can overwinter 'out in the wild' no problem. A general rule of thumb that I follow (and I haven't lost any to the cold just yet) is that if the root ball freezes all the way through then you're likely to loose the plant. Frost on the leaves is ok for a lot of them but as soon as the ground starts freezing you have to take care of any that are in pots. Definitely well drained soil, I don't have a go to mix yet but as they are generally drought tolerant trees you can't go wrong with good drainage. Remember that we are talking about a genus of over 700 trees so there's a lot of divergence from species to species. I plan on making a video on overwintering at one point but might wait till spring just to be sure my advice is actually good 😌
@@LivingDecor thank you for the very involved reply. I actually got my gunnii trees (more like bushes :D ) as throw-outs from a plant store where they started to dry up and there is only one I have much hope of saving. I'll wait until spring to repot, especially after what you said about small pots stunting them. I'll be keeping them with my other bonsai until then; a closed balcony, where it is slightly warmer than outside with no danger of wind burns. Thanks again!
Like I mentioned on one of the other comments. "There are three different ones in this video. The biggest one with the big, round leaves is E. cinerea; the one in the blue pot and the one with the stones in the pot is E. gunnii; the smallest one is E. dalrympleana (I'm 95% sure on this one)."
Wow! Just got an eucalyptus and I just learnt SO MUCH! Thanks for the video!!!
Awesome 🌳 🤩 I am glad you could learn something from my video!
Hey, I guess it makes the house smell great.

@@LivingDecor there isnt any tree that can make the house smell good?
@@RoloAlgarel Not that I know of 🤷🏽

I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and I am interested which eucalyptus tree is this, is it the gunnera or silver dollar?

Hi, Do you know how to propagate it like when its not a bonsai

@@LivingDecor Hi, I live in Australia and can confirm that eucalypts don't grow from cuttings so seeds are the only way to propagate them.
@@lachlanbarrett3558 Thanks for letting us know! At least they grow really fast from seed 😁
@@LivingDecor where can I get the seeds. Kindly help me.

@@cell32005 gunnii is one of the most hardy Eucalypts! Some say till -20 🤯
@@LivingDecor yeah, unlike me my gf actually checked the little plate that comes with it 😅and it says -15
