They're frost-tolerant once established, but protect young plants from hard freezes. We grow ours in our greenhouse for year round harvesting and robust growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Watering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5) prevents root rot. Water deeply but infrequently; let the top inch of soil dry out between sessions. In pots, use a cactus\/succulent mix amended with perlite for extra drainage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing \u0026amp; Pruning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Feed monthly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring-fall). Pinch tips regularly to encourage bushiness and harvestable foliage—eucalyptus responds beautifully to \"cut-and-come-again\" pruning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generally pest-resistant, but watch for aphids; a strong water spray or neem oil keeps them clean. In humid climates, ensure good air circulation to avoid fungal issues. Overwinter indoors in colder zones (USDA 8-11 hardy outdoors).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e: For cut-flower magic, harvest stems in the morning when hydrated, and condition in cool water with flower food. Dry bundles upside down for long-lasting decor.
