Fresh Eucalyptus...grown here in our greenhouse!!

Fresh Eucalyptus...grown here in our greenhouse!!

This year, for the first time, we experimented with growing eucalyptus in our greenhouse.  Originally we planted it to be used as a filler in our bouquets however, as we have learnt, there are so many more uses for fresh eucalyptus.  Here are just a couple:

Freshen your home naturally with Eucalyptus:
A stove simmer is perfect to deodorize the entire house and a great homemade natural air freshener when you want to:
  • make room smell good naturally
  • make your house smell good without candles
  • keep house smelling good with pets
  • one of the cheapest way to make house smell good

Eucalyptus Stove Simmer:
In a pot, combine a couple limes (cut into slices), eucalyptus sprigs and fresh mint and water.  Bringing it up to a gentle boil.  You can leave it on a low boil for as long as you like and add water as needed.  This can also be done in a crockpot.

 

Create a spa-like experience in your shower

Eucalyptus Shower Bundle:
Combine 2-3 sprigs of fresh eucalyptus and hang them in your shower.  When you take a steamy shower, the humidity will activate the oils in the eucalyptus and create a spa-like experience with no extra effort.

Tip: place bundle in the far corner of your shower to prevent it from getting wet.  The humidity is what releases the oils.  Your eucalyptus bundle can last 2-4 weeks in the shower.  To extend the life of your bundle, we recommend placing the bundle in a vase of water when its not being used in the shower.
