From 2015, 2015年より、

マイナーなユーカリ達』は日本語のみでというか、英語にできないだけですが、ユーカリに関する栽培記録を掲載しています。

The English version is "Slow Life - Tidings of four seasons".
I am weak in English. For that reason I aim at something like picture book, that is represented by words of a little.

英語版としていますが、タイトル通り『四季の便り』として、日本語と英語の併記で四季折々のユーカリの姿を掲載しています。

Aromaphloia アロマフロイア』では、バラやアロマオイルなどユーカリ以外のものを掲載しています。

Eucalyptus and oyster husk calcium hydroxide

I read "The method to let Okamurasaki lavender bloom in Kagawa" of Ossan-lavender san (user name).

You sprinkle a large quantity of organic lime, and you sprinkle a large quantity of water, and let's dissolve organic lime.
He said,  do not mind the freeze.

I sprinkled a large quantity of oyster husk calcium hydroxide on a eucalyptus and dissolved it with a large quantity of water in spite of the coldest time.

I photographed this in January.


Because I have sprinkled it on all pots, I do not understand the difference of the growth when I do not sprinkle it.

I add some information,

In Australia,
Limestone of world heritage Pinnacle,
The beautiful shore of the sand bar that limestone was pared off,
I feel that there are many things which assume lime a keyword.

Some of Eucalyptus growing wild should be brought up in the ground of the limestone that the bottom of the sea rose.
In that case, what does a eucalyptus grow in the nourishment source in in desert?
I thought the nourishment source of the eucalyptus to be calcium water and mineral water.

But, there may be a factor elsewhere

If keyword is a calcium, a mineral, and calcium hydroxide , is oyster husk calcium hydroxide one of the choices as a nourishment source of the eucalyptus?
I have sprinkled a large quantity of oyster husk calcium hydroxide like Hanasakajii-san without the consequences.

As a result, I seemed not bad for a eucalyptus.

Eucalyptuses doing its best

They are Eucalyptus which I thought to have already died.

Common name : Fine-Leafed mallee



The leaf becomes brown and is dry.


It died by cold wind of the winter season.












But a sprout came out of a stem.












Botanical name : Eucalyptus perriniana
Common name : Spinning gum


Because the eucalyptus is a trunk of the thickness of around 0.5 millimeters, and the tip dies, and a leaf fell, it is the seedling which thought that I completely died.

It died by cold wind of the winter season.

It was too too thin, and it was too small, and focus did not match when I made a camera auto.






Botanical name : Eucalyptus morrisbyi
Common name : Morrisby's gum


I have planted eight of them in one pot.

In the early spring, I took the wrong timing of the watering and have killed it.

The leaf sticks, but is all dry.













But a lot of sprouts came out of the root neighborhood.









They are deep-rooted eucalyptuses.
