Enhancing Soil for Vigorous Growth and Aromatic Leaves

Ideal Drainage: Eucalyptus species require well-drained soils, preferably slightly acidic.

Well-Draining Soil: Key to preventing diseases and promoting healthy growth.

If you have the following soil, here are some tips for you:

• Sandy Soil: Naturally preferred for its drainage; enrich with low-phosphorus fertilizers to avoid excessive lushness that can attract pests.
• Clay Soil: Generally unsuitable; extensive modification with gypsum, sand, and organic material needed to improve drainage.
• Loamy Soil: Ensure it is not overly rich; provide good drainage and occasional feeding.
• Peaty Soil: Usually too moist; significant drainage improvements required to make suitable for Eucalyptus.
