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.

Great for Privacy, Just a Little Flimsy
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently got this room divider to create a bit more privacy in my home office, and it's been really handy. The thick polyester fabric helps block out distractions, and it's great that it's waterproof, so no worries about spills messing it up. The metal feet keep it stable enough, though I've noticed it can feel a bit wobbly if bumped. It's also super easy to fold and store when not in use, which is a huge plus if you have limited space like I do. Overall, it’s a practical addition, though handling it gently might be a good idea.

Perfect for Creating Private Spaces Without the Hassle
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently picked up this Kecreque 3-panel room divider because we needed a flexible way to break up space in our garage. I wanted a place to hook up a small tv and play my SuperNES — and honestly, it’s been a fantastic purchase! First off, it’s bigger than it looks in pictures — fully opened, it stretches over 8 feet wide and stands about 6 feet tall. The panels are made of a thick, waterproof polyester fabric that feels much sturdier than I expected for the price. Plus, the steel frame is scratch- and rust-resistant, and the curved feet make it really stable. (No wobbling or tipping, even when our cats decide to race past it at full speed.) Assembly was straightforward — my husband did it himself in under 30 minutes with just the included instructions. The panels clip into the frame easily, and you can adjust the angle of each section depending on how much space you want to close off. It’s also surprisingly easy to move and fold up if you need to put it away; I just fold it flat and tuck it into a corner when it’s not in use. I really appreciate how low maintenance it is too — a quick wipe with a damp cloth has kept it clean. It’s been great for creating a semi-private video game nook, but I can also see it being perfect for an office, a church event, or even a kids’ room (the ad says it can “calm down arguments,” and honestly, I can believe it). Final thoughts: This is a sturdy, well-made, and versatile divider that’s easy to set up, reposition, and store. It looks clean and simple in any area or room and has held up well to daily use. Highly recommend if you need a practical and stylish way to create private spaces without committing to permanent walls!

Quality, and not overly complicated
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
This is so easy to put together, the parts are numbered, and the wordless instructions are clearer than some I've seen. The material/fabric is pleasant to the touch, and of decent quality. I like that the panels can be used independently of each other, or connected together, depending on your space. Also, the cloth velcros onto the frame, so it can be removed easily for cleaning if need be, without unbolting anything. The combined weight in the box is decent, but once built, each panel is fairly light and easy to move around, while feeling sturdy/not going to fall over unless they're being mistreated. It's a bright sunny afternoon, and I took a picture looking towards a window, so you can see it blocks most things unless directly silhouetted by the bright light on the other side.

Great purchase, easy to put together and maneuver and does the job
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
Easy enough to put together, the nylon curtaining is a bit thin so will either replace or just pin something decorative and thicker to it. Easy to maneuver and does what you need it to do. Right now its leaned against a set of french doors in my room which unfortunately reflect headlight from the street into the room. This has been very useful for blocking that, Also have used it for the intended purpose of privacy other places also. you can also pin the kids pictures to it to show them off, Think outside the box with this nice screen.

Divide and Conquer
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
Multi paneled room divider. I selected black, but it does come in a couple other color choices. This divider is solidly made, weighted. This dividers provide a measure of privacy for sleeping quarters, dressing, or to conceal a messy room or things you just don't want openly viewed by others. Portable, but again it's solid so it has some weight to it. No skid bottoms and a really reasonable/affordable price. Delivery was only a couple days.
