Useful Tips & Hints for
Native Plants
All Australian native plants are sensitive to high levels
of phosphates in the soil. It is best to avoid feeding with
chemical fertilizers. It is suggested to use a slow release
Osmocote that is specially formulated for native plants.
Avoid heavy clay soils when planting, natives prefer a well
drained sandy-loam. If clay is prevalent, sit the root ball
on top of the clay and build the soil levels up to the base
of the trunk.
Bird attracting native plants include; Kangaroo Paw (Anigosanthus),
Bottlebrush (Callistemon), Spider flowers (Grevillea), Lillypilly
(Syzigium), Banksia and Paperbarks (Melaleuca). Many of these
come in several varieties with different heights, thus being
used for assorted purposes such as hedges, groundcovers,
shrub or tree specimens.
To increase redness in N.S.W. Christmas bush, place your
disused steelwool pads around the base of the tree around
September. Alternatively, purchase Iron Chelates and use
as a fertilizer. Many of the dwarf natives are suitable for
pots. These include Eriostemon, Erica, Callistemon ‘Little John’, Brachicome
daisies, Viola hederacea and many native fern and grass species.
