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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eucalyptus

Is eucalyptus a good indoor plant?

Eucalyptus plants can be brought indoors and enjoyed as houseplants, however they can be tricky to grow indoors because they require many hours of direct light and water. Don't be discouraged if your Eucalyptus does not survive, as this is a very common issue.

You can grow Eucalyptus in Canada from August to November, however they require lots of light, and in the fall the Canadian sun is not powerful enough to make them thrive.

Is eucalyptus poisonous to touch?

Eucalyptus is not poisonous to touch, but they do have concentrated oils in their leaves that some people find sensitivities to. This is the same for Eucalyptus oils - letting them touch their skin in their strongest form can irritate skin.

How does eucalyptus smell?

Eucalyptus has a specific camphoraceous smell, which smells almost medicinal, much like rosemary. It's a scent that has hints of citrus, mint, and also honey. Some people equate it to walking through a pine forest.

Does eucalyptus purify the air?

Yes, Eucalyptus plants are great air purifiers, and are known for their medicinal properties and fragrant smells

Where should eucalyptus be placed in the house?

The plants themselves should be placed in an area that receives the brightest light and the longest light. Try to get at least 10 hours of light every day for a healthy plant.

Can eucalyptus plants survive winter?

Eucalyptus plants cannot withstand temperatures below -13°C. At those temperatures more than 50 percent of the plants' cells will be irreparably damaged and would almost certainly kill the plant.

How toxic is eucalyptus for dogs?

Eucalyptus plants are toxic to dogs, so they should be kept out of reach. If your pet ingests eucalyptus leaves it can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness.

Can I grow eucalyptus in my backyard?

You can grow eucalyptus plants in your backyard, so be sure to choose a spot that receives 8 to 10 hours of full sun every day. If your eucalyptus plant is indoors place it in a south-facing window so it gets plenty of sunlight.

invigorating way. It also helps refresh and energize the body while giving a calming, soothing effect on the mind. It has been used to reduce stress and mood disorders. 

Do bugs like the smell of eucalyptus?

The scent of Eucalyptus impedes many insects' sense of smell, which drives them away from the area. This is helpful to deter mosquitoes, as eucalyptus has similar effects as citronella.

Good quality and good price
Color: White, Style: With Headrest, Color: White, Style: With Headrest
Very easy to assemble, comfortable, sleek design, and the colours are just as pictured. I can't speak on durability as I just got it. The back support works well. Something I loved is that the head and arms support adjust to your needs.

Needs improvements
Color: Light Black, Style: With Headrest
I bought 4 chairs for my table. Easy to put together. The arms are too short. They move too much and there is no way to lock the arms in place. The worse thing is the material used to cover the arms. It is sticky. Each chair has the same problem so I took a pair of socks to cover the arms. So, you should offer custom arm covers and a way to lock the arms. For the weight allowed the pneumatic support that holds and adjusts the height of the seat holds me quite well. The wheels stick out beyond the seat circumference so everyday I run into them as I go to sit down but it is a good thing as you can be seated and you are not going to flip over if you bend down from the seat to reach for something on the floor. The seat itself should be able to accommodate a person of a larger size a big man. It is like you made the chair for little people that weigh a lot (narrow seat, short arms, vs. a large wheel span and powerful the pneumatic pump). The neck support requires a pillow. Without the pillow my head and neck do not rest on the mesh. Regarding comfort, I sit in the chair for a lot of time each day. Although it feels a bit hard the seat is fairly comfortable. It would be more comfortable if it were bigger. I purchased these chairs because of the welcoming way the company describes itself, therefore, I hope they will make some changes to improve the chair. I would not buy them if I had the chance again, not without improvements made. I don't need four more chairs, so, I will live with my purchase. If the chairs already had those improvements my opinion would be different. They may be perfect for someone else of a different body type (and age).

Finally a Chair That Fits and Feels Great
Color: Black, Style: With Headrest
I recently purchased the Marsail Ergonomic Office Chair, and overall, I couldn’t be happier with it. First off, assembly was incredibly simple. It took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. All the parts were well packaged, and I didn’t run into any issues putting it together. For reference, I’m 6'2" and about 275 pounds, and this chair fits me very well. As a bigger guy, finding a chair that feels supportive and appropriately sized can be a challenge, but this one hits the mark. The seat is roomy without feeling oversized, and the overall build feels sturdy and solid. Comfort-wise, it’s been excellent. I work from home and spend about 8–9 hours a day in this chair, five days a week. The thick cushion seat really makes a difference, it stays comfortable throughout the day and doesn’t feel like it’s flattening out after hours of use. I also really like the mesh back. It provides good support while allowing airflow, which helps keep me cool during long work sessions. The only feature I wish it had is a recline lock at multiple angles. Currently, it only locks in the fully upright position. It would be great to be able to lock it slightly reclined for more flexibility during long workdays. That said, for the price, ease of assembly, and all-day comfort, this chair delivers tremendous value. I’m giving the Marsail Ergonomic Office Chair 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive office chair, especially if you’re on the taller or bigger side like me.
