Eucalyptus robusta aka Swamp Messmate

If you're an experienced gardener looking to push your limits, Swamp Messmate will provide you with a rewarding and challenging experience.

Swamp Messmate should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Swamp Messmate 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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Swamp Messmate prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi does not possess verified information regarding the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event that you, a member of your family, or a pet ingests plant material with an unclear toxicity level, it is highly recommended to seek the advice of a medical professional.

The Swamp Messmate does not necessitate supplementary humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their roots, rather than their leaves. Hence, the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants is by watering the soil.

Swamp Messmate’s native range is Australia.
