Planting Tips:
When planting Australian natives they don’t require too much work to get them settled. Almost all natives dislike soils and fertiliser with high phosphorus levels, therefore when fertilising these plants make sure to use a food made especially for them with phosphorus (P) level of 3% or less. Fertiliser Australian native plants in the prime growing seasons, Spring and early Autumn for the best results.
If planting into a pot make sure that the container chosen is large enough for the plant being planted. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Make sure to use a premium quality Australian Native Potting Mix as this has the correct balance of wetting agents and nutrients required for having a healthy plant.
