Eucalyptus camaldulensis aka Murray Red Gum

Caring for Murray Red Gum can be demanding, requiring a deep understanding of its unique needs and a commitment to provide optimal care.

Murray Red Gum should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Murray Red Gum loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Murray Red Gum thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Red Gum.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

No extra humidity is necessary for the Murray Red Gum. Absorption of water by plants is primarily done through their roots, and soil watering is the most effective method to provide humidity to your plants.
