Argyle Apple "Silver Dollar"
New
Argyle Apple "Silver Dollar" - Eucalyptus cinerea F.Muell. ex Benth.
Three in one: natural stress-reliever, air purifier, and stylish home decor!
A perennial, evergreen, compact plant of the Myrtle family, native to Australia. Distinguished by rapid growth (60–90 cm per year).
The main decoration is the blue-grey, rounded leaves, resembling silver coins (hence the name), covered with a waxy bloom. They possess a strong fresh aroma with notes of lemon, thyme, and lemon balm. This scent relieves fatigue, disinfects the air, and repels insects.
Eucalyptus branches are a hit in modern floristry, used in bouquets both fresh and dried.
Warning: all parts of the plant are poisonous if swallowed (keep away from children and animals), but are useful for inhalations.
Agrotechnics and secrets of success.
Eucalyptus can be grown as a houseplant, and moved to the garden in summer. In northern regions, it is grown outdoors as an annual.
Sowing:
Seeds are sown on the surface (DO NOT cover with soil!), as they germinate in the light.
Best time: February-April (for open ground) or year-round (for home). Under glass, t +18°C. Seedlings appear in 7-10 days.
Growing conditions:
1. Light: Eucalyptus is a child of the sun, so it needs bright light, direct rays are acceptable (but protect from burns at noon). In the shade, the stems stretch out, and the leaves lose their "silver".
2. Watering: The "Golden Mean". From spring to autumn — abundant (the soil should be slightly moist), in winter — moderate. Drying out of the earthen clod is fatal for it!
3. Wintering: needs coolness (+12+15°C) and fresh air, but is afraid of drafts.
4. Shaping: to get a lush bush, and not a "leggy stick", regular pinching of shoots is mandatory.
At home, eucalyptus lives for several years, after which it loses its decorative effect and requires replacement with a young plant.
