Quick Start Guide: Eucalyptus in the Shower

If you want to place your eucalyptus in the shower follow these steps:

1. Remove your eucalyptus from the box and trim off any dead ends
2. If there is a hydration pack around the stems, remove it
3. (Optional) Roll the eucalyptus bundle with a wine bottle or other object to release fragrant oils in the eucalyptus, but note that this will cause faster drying. For longer-lasting eucalyptus, place it in a vase without rolling. This can be sticky, make sure to roll the bundle outside or over paper, and make sure to clean your hands and the area afterwards.

    

4. If ribbon is included, tie the ribbon around the base of the eucalyptus to secure the bundle.

How to Hang Eucalyptus in the Shower: Placement Tips

 

Now the most important part, the placement of the bundle in the shower. You can place your bundle almost anywhere in the shower but it is best to follow these general hanging rules.

• Place bundle outside of direct water flow
• Place High
• Check occasionally

The most important part of hanging eucalyptus in your shower is to make sure the eucalyptus not directly in the water flow, this can reduce the life of the eucalyptus. The best placement is in a spot in the shower that the steam will reach, usually higher up. Also, don't forget to check on your Eucalyptus occasionally if it has been in your shower for a week or so.

Eucalyptus Rehydration

Especially during summer months, eucalyptus can dry out fast. This is not an issue, as dry eucalyptus can easily be rehydrated. 

Rehydrate dried eucalyptus by trimming an inch off the stems, washing in cool water, and placing in cool (not cold!) water overnight. Once rehydrated, your eucalyptus is ready for use.

For a more fragrant eucalyptus, gently roll it after washing and drying. Add a drop or two of essential oils to the stems, if desired.

Eucalyptus Bundle Lifespan - How Long Does A Bundle Last?

Eucalyptus bundles can last for a 1-4 weeks in the shower. To extend the life of the bundle, florists recommend placing the bundle in water, and changing the water frequently. When placing in water, trimming the stems one half to a full inch can also help for water absorption.
