Eucalyptus cinerea – Silver Dollar
Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, is admired for its soft rounded silvery-blue foliage and elegant upright growth. The distinctive coin-shaped leaves create a fresh modern look while adding beautiful texture and color to indoor plant collections.
This fast-growing plant thrives in bright conditions and develops fuller growth with strong light exposure. The silvery foliage can become even more pronounced with brighter light, creating the signature soft blue-green appearance that makes this plant so popular.
Light
Prefers several hours of bright indirect to direct indoor light. A sunny window is ideal.
Soil
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with added perlite or coarse material for airflow.
Water
Water when the top inch or two of soil becomes dry. Avoid allowing roots to remain soggy.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C and adapts well to average indoor humidity.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly during spring and summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Potting & Repotting
Repot when rootbound or as needed to support continued growth. Pruning can help maintain a fuller shape indoors.
