I have a couple of eucalyptus plants and some of them are starting to look like this. I’m new to these so I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong yet. Someone please help me get them looking healthy again!

I may be wrong but I believe it’s an outdoor plant

Eucalyptus don’t normally grow in my location and they tend to usually do fairly well in pots! I’m just not really sure what I’m doing wrong with this one. It looked amazing until I repotted it , but I used the suggested soil and have been watering with the suggested amount as well

It could be moving stress if recently purchased. It could be repotting stress that damages and disturbs the root system. This temporarily reduces the water and nutrients going to the plant.

It looks dry. It could be inconsistent watering and it dried out too much. Too low humidity can cause the same effect.

Eucalyptus trees like full direct sunlight at least 8 hours a day. Add a strong grow light or get it acclimated to exposure to direct sunlight in a south window. 🪴🍀
