Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou’ll want a full sun area that drains well and is far from other competing plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDig your hole twice the width of the root ball, and just as deep. Hold the tree upright to where the tip of the root crown is level with the soil surface. Gently backfill the hole (be delicate with the roots). When the hole is partially filled, soak the soil, let it settle, then finish backfilling to the top of the root ball. Repeat several times until full, watering between layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're planting for indoor growth, select the appropriate pot for your new tree. Go up one or two pot sizes from your plant's shipped container.

Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Using your index finger is a good way to tell if the tree is ready for another drink of water or not. Stick your finger into the soil near the tree, about 2 or 3 inches down, and if it still feels moistened, leave it be. If it’s dry and sandy to the touch, give it a good watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.

Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eEucalyptus responds well to pruning but is not necessary for the first two seasons. When you're ready to prune, do so in the heat of summer and be sure to remove dead branches. If your eucalyptus is planted in a hedge, we recommend regular pruning to maintain shape and size; otherwise, the plants can tend to sprawl. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs eucalyptus a good indoor plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e Eucalyptus makes a wonderful indoor plant when young but may need to be transplanted outdoors once it grows larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the eucalyptus plant poisonous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e If consumed, eucalyptus is toxic to humans, cats and especially dogs.
