Who am I?
Hi, my botanical name is Eucalyptus Citriodora, but I am more commonly known as the Lemon Eucalyptus. I owe my name to my strong Cintronella scent, which can be smelled immediately after germination! My oil is used worldwide as an anti mosquito and protects for up to 4 hours with an effectiveness of 97%, so I am a real power plant!
Where do I come from?
I am originally from the northeastern part of Australia which is part of the Koala diet. Although I am a tree species, I also do very well in a pot in living rooms all over the world.
How big will I get?
Because I am a tree species, I can grow very large and my natural habitat can reach a height of 40 meters. The growth in a pot will limit me to about 2 meters.
How much do I want to drink?
I like high humidity and I like to be in slightly moist soil, so give me regular water! Do not let the soil dry out, I can tolerate a period of drought but my leaves will then wilt. I do recover, but my wilted leaves no longer do this.
Where do I want to be and what temperatures do I like?
I usually love a lot of light, so I like to be in full sun! However, be careful when there is a very strong sun, then I can burn especially when I stand behind the glass.
