Eucalyptus websteriana, also known as 'Eucalyptus Heart', will arrive as a vital and mature seedling to which you can immediately provide a new home in a spacious pot. Given that it can handle frost of up to -6 °C in our climate, it is best utilized as a popular portable plant that can grow to a height of 150 to 200 centimeters in a container. Plan its summer stay, i.e., moving it outdoors during the warm months, to a location where it will have plenty of direct sun and warmth. Eucalypts generally love sunny positions and well-draining soil. When planting into a window box or pot, prepare a mixture of high-quality, humus-rich potting soil and sand. This will prevent soil compaction and ensure that the roots can breathe. If you maintain proper drainage at the bottom of the container, you will take the most important step towards the trouble-free cultivation of this beautiful aromatic woody plant.
Care for this beauty requires some attention to watering. Try to keep the substrate slightly moist, while applying the golden rule: water the eucalyptus evenly, as it does not tolerate overwatering, but it also does not benefit from long periods of dryness. During the most intense growth period, from spring to the end of August, remember regular nutrition. Every two weeks, add liquid fertilizer with potassium content to the watering. It will reward your care in June with tiny creamy-white flowers. Do not be afraid to reach for the pruning shears either. Regular pruning and pinching will ensure dense growth and prevent the branches from stretching. The cut branches with grey-green leaves will also scent your entire home, whether you leave them fresh in a vase or use them for drying. The advantage is that thanks to aromatic essential oils, the plant is naturally free of pests and diseases.
With the end of summer and the arrival of cold autumn days, it is necessary to prepare the eucalyptus for winter. Due to its origin, it requires a frost-free and ideally very bright location. A cool, glazed porch or a bright staircase are perfect refuges from outdoor frost. During these colder months, the plant rests, so you must skip fertilizing entirely and reduce watering to an absolute minimum. Keep the substrate only slightly damp to prevent root rot. With the arrival of spring, you can lightly prune the plant to increase vitality, or repot it into a slightly larger container, and as soon as the risk of spring frosts passes, place it back on the sunny terrace. Just remember that although this plant has amazing aromatic properties, it is classified as a poisonous species and is not intended for consumption.
