Hello, I'm brand new to both gardening and this site, so please be patient with me, lol.
I traveled recently to Australia and New Zealand, and decided to begin my gardening hobby with exotics from those countries. Perhaps a bit challenging for a beginner, but hey. I planted 5 seeds of messmate stringybark, a cold-tolerant Tasmanian species of eucalyptus. To my total surprise all 5 seeds quickly germinated, but in the maybe 2 weeks since germination, 3 of the 5 abruptly died. I am growing in a large pot indoors, in cactus blend soil under a grow lamp, if that tells you anything.
Basically what I'm looking for is generic tips on growing eucalyptus. It's surprisingly hard to find consistent info online about growing eucalypts from seed, so any tips would be welcome.
Cheers
