How to grow Rainbow Eucalyptus from seed

... And what to do when you germinate too many 😱

[@phyllislangley-cooper3810]

Thank you. I really learned more from you not saying one word, compared to all the videos I've watched and they talked so much, I didn't get nothing from them.

[@Daniel-vj8lo]

Among all the videos I saw yours was the easiest way of growing Eucalyptuses. Thank for sharing it

[@michaeljoncour4903]

it would be a whole lot easier if you single potted them first time around, less stress on the tree also..

[@santosprieto8952]

I hate just watching and not being able to listen to words , BUT, that was very well done and helpful. Thank you

[@downeyd88]

That was a great video, cheers!

[@tucsonurbangardening2701]

You made that look so easy! Lol I’m going to try your method next time. I accidentally killed many beautiful seedlings on my first attempt. Luckily, six survived and they’re nearly two feet/almost 61 cm tall. Thanks for posting this. I think using this technique will improve my survival rates on the next attempt.

[@datboi2359]

how long have they been growing for?

[@Lorenaldzma90]

Im starting to grow them now thanks for help. Im growing because of their beauty and want some privacy where i live. But im only watching this video for the 4th time because you made a great video and very calming.

[@abundantcat7448]

Did you ever grow any?

[@kristyzahn5661]

Great video!! Thank you!! Wonder if you know how to propagate by rainbow eucalyptus cuttings?

[@Msimelda]

I loved this video ❤❤ great job

[@Wigdor]

What kind of soil/soilmix do you use in the second stage?

[@Kgoutdoor]

I just planted one also and am going to try to get seeds from it in the future.

[@thebonsaiprojectkernow]

I've just yesterday sown some of these,I'm in Cornwall UK,here's hoping they sprout!!

[@davejones4269]

Uses perlite. Just fill to slightly below the perlite level and the water will ‘wick ‘ up to the soil

[@thebonsaiprojectkernow]

@@davejones4269 I think I may have killed it when I chopped it back,took it right back to the first node on the trunk,took some cuttings,one is still green and growing new leaves the rest died

[@rufinofamilyranch6686]

Do you sale started trees? Seedlings?

[@JR-td5zj]

I noted the container does not have holes in the bottom? How do you resolve the drainage problem and how often you water?

[@introtwerp]

He doesn’t water too much… there is drainage as the excess water goes below the soil and to the perlite

[@Shaniko_09]

I love planting trees so tested this method but I don't have the seed yet

[@vinniedeandrade6073]

what did you do at 4:35. Were those rocks???? Also what soil was that after the round things went in?

[@F0rumguyFTW]

I poured Leca rocks at the bottom to help with drainage. The soil I used was ordinary potting mix mixed with perlite. The ratio is roughly 1 part perlite to 3 parts potting mix.

[@ushasubramanian244]

What soil mix did you use while repotting those tiny seedlings?

[@Growgreen]

He used coco coir and perlite when he planted the seed and when he potted them up I think he put Giant leca balls and well draining soil with perlite mixed in it

[@ushasubramanian244]

@@Growgreen Thank you so much!👍

[@norlan999999]

Danke für das Video, good Job!

[@Kgoutdoor]

Are the seeds in the flower?

[@desertedenblooms]

HOW many months or weeks from the time you transplanted them to the time you gave them as gifts ? I did not see that on the video, perhaps I missed it ..thank you

[@F0rumguyFTW]

I can barely remember, but I want to say that it was something like 8 weeks

[@zervoalvi]

Hallo and thank you for uploading this wonderful video.I just started my own grow. May i ask, at the first 72 days,how many times did you add water ,and how much?

[@AndreasM01]

how old were they when you gifted them?

[@thanassiss1371]

I have 20 seedlings which are about 55 days old but only just developping their first real leaves. Not sure why they are so slow. Maybe because I have used coco coir? I am too scared to give them fertilizer so I only give them compost tea every 20 days.

[@abundantcat7448]

Yeah as the video said coir has virtually no nutrients and cannot sustain plant life for very long in its own. It’s just a growing medium that you add nutrients to. How are your plants doing now?

[@bas4903]

Eucalyptus and similar species typically grow in low phosphorus soil so the fertiliser needs to have low or no phosphorus. Phosphorus will kill them

[@johnjohn3913]

what and how much of whatever it is you injected into the perlite?

[@TylerSmithMusic1]

Nitrogen, 5 ml

[@nashcagampang4733]

how many days did it take to grow with colored leaves?

[@tucsonurbangardening2701]

They never have colored leaves. Mature trees have bark that peels and reveals a variety of colors.

[@johnjohn3913]

i understood your question my guess 3 months until first translate exoerience with other ukes im guessing another 2 months until the leaves colored

[@pingpaj]

What did you add as “booster”?

[@datum8193]

i also ask this one, what did he add for 'booster'?

[@smuggo9999]

This is honestly crazy, you might not believe me, but I was literally just thinking about getting myself some new plants and doing them all from scratch. And then WHAM! You post this masterpiece out of nowhere? Are you reading my mind? Seems a little sussy, but I won't go digging to deep for your secrets. Though if there is one thing that I have to mention it's that... these Rainbow Eucalyptussesssessi just ain't looking very Rainbowy? You know, with a name like "Rainbow" I would at least expect more than one color from the many colors of the rainbow. Very disappointing stuff. Might I suggest just like, painting over a couple of the leaves? Anyways, bang up job as always, and keep fuckin that chicken bro!

[@JR-td5zj]

I tried this technique, and I have failed twice. They suffered damping off. What can I do regarding the fungi and how to prevent it? Did anyone have the same issue? Every site on Internet say different things, sometimes contradictory. Frustrating.

[@Potatoeateriffries]

I'm having the same problems, im not entirely sure what to do either but i think giving it some fresh air few times every day and if its to hot then get rid of the lit and make sure it doesnt dry out

[@JR-td5zj]

Thanks for replying. I got a new batch and will try opening holes in the lid this time. I will probably try the warming mat also. I hope the adjustments help me prevent the fungal invasion. I start seeing a pearly balls after few days that eventually turn into green nasty stuff. Pretty sure they are killing the plants. I will rather challenge the dryness than the nasty fungi. Once I see the pearly balls they spread fast. If I try full direct light it may kill both the fungus AND the seeds…..

[@wendyreynolds6259]

@@JR-td5zj Hi there.. So I bought a Indoor Garden Halo3 and it worked for the seedlings/trees!! I kept the light real low towards the seeds. They are now about and inch big within 2weeks. I’m trying to find out now what fertilizer he placed in there with the syringe?? Any idea? Also did he mix his dirt/soil with anything as well, i’m finding it hard to find good soil these days! I keep getting gnats! I found that the lighting truly helps - big time though, on other plants as well!! Good luck to you on you in endeavors 😊👍 thanks for your time.

[@JR-td5zj]

Hi Wendy. Thanks for the tips!! I think he just used perlite and cocofiber. The fertilizer is ikea vaxer. It has been discontinued but I found it on eBay.co.uk, as “new vaxer fertiliser/0.5. I didn’t buy it myself so I can’t personally recommend it. It also looks like, since it’s shipped from England, the shipping may be more expensive than the product. I get gnats as well. Multiple failures with different soils. I’m trying again the perlite plus cocofiber and leaving it close in my windowsill, exactly like in this video. What I changed, is that I sterilized the container with bleach prior to start, and used water with reverse osmosis because many germs of damping off can be water borne. so I keep trying different things. Will see! Jorge

[@chasingthefish9042]

You get any to pop? I am going to use 80%perlite 20% peat. Trick is to keep the seeds moist not wet. So I make sure the soil is wet before I plant seeds in it and just mist the pots once a day. Once they start to sprout I bottom water once a week. Works well for alot of different trees so hopefully I will get a few of these going as well.
