I'm impressed that the Eucalyptus seedlings are easier than I expected.
First, the Silver Dollar" Eucalyptus cinerea, which were the second ones I planted.
These are all in their 4" pots now, in regular potting soil. They are on the "plantmobile ", inside at night and outside during day. I topped three for bushiness. I might see if one or two will survive outside and grow into trees, so did not top those.
Second, the lemon bush Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus citriodora (AKA Corymbia citriodora). These are a mixed situation.
The ones in 4" pots look pretty good. I topped them a while back, and branches are forming.
The ones in the silicone six-packs don't look so great.
The leaf spots & leaves dying appeared shortly after transplanting them. I don't know why. Soil, light, temperature was the same. Maybe it's because I divided some of those, so they had more root trauma. Some seem to be growing again, so I'll keep taking care of them as I already am.
