Eucalyptus, native to our beautiful Australia, has to be my favourite indoor greenery. The subtle silvery green/grey tones are so stylish and the crisp, fresh menthol smell is cleansing for the home. I have some inspiration to show you how you can introduce this into your home.
Just one spring of Eucalyptus in a jar or a collection grouped together is very effective. I find that if you change the water regularly then the cuttings will last a week or two. As tempting as it would be to plant your own Eucalpytus tree in a pot, I don't recommend this as they grow very quickly and soon become root-bound.
Their leaves are also toxic to pets so bear this in mind too – probably OK out of reach in a vase but not in a pot at the front door!
The classic Christmas wreath is beautiful with Eucalyptus and this certainly suits the Australian climate and looks more at home here than the traditional cooler climate holly. Too late for this year but maybe for Christmas in July?
The silvery tones of the Eucalyptus plant are very effective when styled against a dark background.
