Hi,

I am hoping this forum can help me. I recently received a Eucalyptus silver dollar tree. I would like to bonsai this and keep it indoors. So far it is adopting to it's environment well. I have it under flourescent lights. Do any of you grow Eucalyptus? Do you think this is possible? To keep this tree indoors and prune it and just maintain it small? I would very much like to keep it and see it thrive. Any tips for it's care, or if you think this would be possible, would be much appreciated.

Thanks:)

P.S. I received this plant about a week and half ago in terrible shape. What I did was completely defoliate it and moved it to get light. I did lightly water it. I has now grown four leaves back and is starting to show little baby leaves. I will take a picture of it later on today and post it here.

Juvenile eucalyptus have silver dollar leaves, as it growsthey switch to the lance shaped leaves. I'm not sure if its an age thing or a size thing but I would think it beneficial, with young eucalyptus you get three or four long sprigs of silver dollar leaves, very unconvincing as a bonsai IMHO

Goot luck, maybe post a picture in the gallery for some creative advice from other members too.
