Our experts understand the soil and the plants and here are some tips on how to grow and maintain the best Australian native plants in your own backyard.
Planting
While planting or a plant sourcing or a tree, remember to loosen the soil to twice the length and width of the spade. This is done so that the root system spreads without any difficulty. Also, remember if you are having plants with trunks like trees and shrubs, make sure to bury them halfway up their trunk while you plant them. This is done so that the root zone is deeper into the ground.
Watering
Always remember once you have planted the plants it is better to sufficiently water your plants for fewer and longer periods, rather than more often with less water and for shorter periods.
Mulching
This is one of the most crucial tasks as it helps in conserving water by reducing evaporation. Mulching also limits the growth of weeds around your plants and protects the soil from getting eroded. It is also important to make sure you apply mulch away from the plant stem or it can cause severe damage.
Pruning
Tree Pruning promotes healthy new growth and gives your plant a new refreshing look. In addition to this, it also increases the number of flowers that bloom in your plants.
Today, many of us Australians, think that growing Australian native plants are difficult, but it is important to know that just like any other plant, the environment and the gardening environment should match the plant.
