CARE FOR NATIVES
Most natives thrive where sun, shade, watering, feeding, soil ph and structure suit their needs. Only plants that belong to the Proteaceae family – such as banksias, grevilleas and waratahs – need special attention. Their roots have adapted to Australia’s ancient soils and should only be fed fertiliser low in phosphorous. Too much will kill them. So use feed that is designed specifically for native plants.
