Care from the roots up
Understand the plant and its growing conditions before deciding what to change.
Talk to Ross about plant & soil care
WHAT IT DOES
A little understanding.
A better conversation.
Plant care considers the whole setting: plant type, light, soil, drainage, water and recent growth. Mulching, appropriate pruning or nutrition may help, but the useful treatment depends on the cause.
THE RIGHT TIME AND APPROACH
Plan care around establishment, flowering and seasonal conditions. Check plants after extreme weather or a change in appearance, rather than treating every species on the same schedule.
HOW IT WORKS
Assess. Care. Follow through.
Choose the right method
Agree suitable care such as mulching, watering changes, light pruning or a carefully selected feed.
Finish with a plan
Tidy the area and explain what to monitor as the plants respond.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Good care keeps going.
Check moisture before watering and keep mulch clear of stems. Some natives are sensitive to phosphorus, so choose any fertiliser for the species and follow its label.
Every garden is different.
Tell Ross about your space and what you want to achieve. The useful next step is a conversation about your garden.
