Eucalyptus prostrata is ideal as a ground cover plant, in rock gardens, or as a trailing plant in containers. Its aromatic leaves can also be used to make eucalyptus oil.
The fresh scent of eucalyptus is invigorating and is thought to help relieve stress, boost mood, and improve mental clarity.
care🪴
Light:Prefers full sun but can tolerate some light shade. In areas with hot summers, a little afternoon shade may help protect it from the intense heat.
Watering:Eucalyptus prostrata is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during prolonged dry spells, especially in the first couple of years after planting.
Pruning:Light pruning can help maintain a tidy shape and encourage denser growth. Remove dead or damaged branches to promote better airflow.
Fertilization:It generally doesn’t require heavy feeding, but a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring can encourage healthy growth, especially if the soil is poor.
