Known for their scent and striking color, Eucalyptus stands out with coin-shaped leaves in a soft silver-green hue. It is a sun-loving plant that thrives in bright spots, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light and well-draining soil to stay healthy. Because its stems are naturally “wax-coated,” they are incredibly long-lasting when cut for decor. The visual and fragrant rewards are well worth the effort.
