Eucaliptus care


Question
I just received a eucaliptus tree.  About 2 feet tall, many branches.  Root size about 4-5 inches.
I need daily care instructions.  Live in mid Missouri.  Have planted it two days ago, and have it  under grow lights in the basement.  Want to bring it to work; don't have any idea about care of it, or what to expect.
Please HELP.

Thanks, Cathie

Answer
Cathie,

Really all you have to do is water, feed and enjoy.

Be careful not to over-water.  Take your index finger and push into potting media.  If it feels dry at the first knuckle, water the plant.  If it feels moist, do not water.  Get the liquid fertilizer available in garden centers and follow the directions for feeding.  I think you can then handle the enjoying part.

Good luck

Gary
