Growing Instructions:
Timing: For best results, sow seeds in late winter to early spring, or in autumn, when temperatures are mild. This allows young seedlings to establish before summer heat or winter frosts.
Preparation:
Seed Raising Mix: Use a well-draining, sandy seed-raising mix. A mix designed for native plants is ideal.
Containers: Use seed trays, forestry tubes, or small pots with good drainage holes.
Sowing:
Lightly firm the surface of your seed-raising mix.
Sprinkle the tiny seeds evenly over the surface. Do not bury them deeply.
Lightly cover the seeds with a very thin layer (1-2mm) of fine propagating sand or sieved soil.
Watering:
Gently water the trays immediately after sowing using a fine mist spray to avoid disturbing the seeds.
Keep the substrate consistently moist but never waterlogged. Good drainage is crucial to prevent damping off.
Environment:
Light: Place the trays in a warm, bright location. Full sun is generally preferred for good germination, but protect from scorching midday sun if temperatures are extremely high.
Temperature: Ideal germination temperatures range from 18∘C to 25∘C (64∘F to 77∘F).
Germination: Germination can be variable but typically occurs within 2-6 weeks.
Care of Seedlings:
Once seedlings emerge, ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
When seedlings are large enough to handle (typically 5-10 cm tall with a few sets of true leaves), carefully transplant them into individual larger pots or forestry tubes. Handle by the leaves to avoid damaging the delicate stems.
Hardening Off: Before planting out into the garden, gradually acclimate the young plants to outdoor conditions over a week or two.
Planting Out: Choose a sunny, well-drained position. This species prefers a moist, fertile soil but is adaptable to various soil types once established. It is fast-growing and can tolerate some cold once mature.
Watering Established Plants: Water regularly during their first dry season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, they become more drought-tolerant but will benefit from supplementary watering during prolonged dry periods.
Mature Size: Blue Gum is a very large tree, capable of reaching heights of over 40-60 meters (and sometimes more in ideal conditions). Ensure you have ample space for its mature size and root system before planting.
