Re: Eucalyptus - callus on the leaves

["Dr. Dale Smith" <dalesmith@XTRA.CO.NZ>]

Eucalyptus plants in soil do exactly the same thing in sustained high humidity.

We had success with vented containers and elevated Gelrite levels for
in-vitro E. globulus.

Also search the Plant-TC archives - this was discussed a few years
back and there were other solutions offered.
