#Eucalyptus I bought him 3 weeks ago and he’s gone crispy! His soil is wet and he’s in bright indirect light south facing window. How can I help him?
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
Welcome to Greg. Lauren!

This plant is on my #NeverAgain list. I have gone through five and I've called it. I won't be killing anymore. 🫣

I have never been able to keep that plant happy inside.

after as many plans as I've killed, I believe it is one of those plants that needs to be outside to even attempt to thrive. please don't be too hard on yourself. There are several plants on my #NeverAgain list. πŸ˜†οΏΌοΏΌοΏΌ
@Luppsy Hi Lauren, this is also known as Argylle Apple in other parts of the world. They are drought tolerant normally so I would recommend you cut back the watering (if the soil is wet) as it needs draining soil and consider changing its other conditions. If your plant info is correct, it suggests your plant is near a heater so this could explain the leaves being crispy. I would suggesting relocating him away from such heat sources. It may also be be getting sufficient light for its needs.

Named him (thanks @Seymour) and moved him. Fingers crossed he doesn’t end up on my #NeverAgain list πŸ™πŸΌ
