Just spread it around the root zone but remember, whenever you apply any fertiliser make sure the soil is moist first. After rain is a good time and make sure to water it in well. That way, all those added nutrients can then be taken up most effectively and the plants will respond with healthier growth and better blooms. Nurture your natives, just like you would any other plant in your garden and you will grow the most beautiful natives that will reward you for many years to come.
Featured Products Garden Gold for Australian Native Plants A complete fertiliser formulated specifically with a low level of phosphorus for Australian native plants. Contains nitrogen for healthy foliage growth, potassium for encouraging flowering and trace elements for complete plant health.
Low application rate. The one we get in WA must be different from what they get in the east!!. I will send the soil alkaline, I find most natives I grow like the soil on the acid to neutral side. With re potting it should not be too much of a problem. I have however encountered a problem inside 6 months on a Melaleuca cuticularis, so I changed the soil and stopped using DL no problems since. None with any of my trees using Phostrogen every 2 weeks.
Then once a month Miraclegro for Azaleas. Last edited by Hector Johnson on Mon Feb 16, am, edited 2 times in total. I use both these fertilisers on all my natives including the Proteaceae family, with no ill affects I find them easy to use and economical.
I[t] will send the soil alkaline, I find most natives I grow like the soil on the acid to neutral side. Always water well after application. As a guide, one adult handful holds about 75g. One cupful holds about g. Flowers and vegetable beds Mix g per square metre into soil prior to planting, and then re-apply as a side dressing every six weeks during the growing season.
Native shrubs, azaleas, rhododendrons and acid-loving plants Starting 15cm from the plant trunk, apply 50g to g per square metre, in spring and again in autumn higher rate for fast-growing plants. Place in shallow holes spread over the root area of the tree. Potted plants As a guide, use 10g for a 15cm diameter pot, or 30g for a 30cm pot etc. Planting trees and shrubs Mix between g and g into the soil in the planting hole as it is being filled.
Lighter in smell than original Dynamic Lifter and once applied and watered in, the smell reduces quicker. This practice is best left to your vegetable garden. Species that prefer low Phosphorus fertilisers are generally those from the Proteaceae and Mimosoideae families such as Waratahs, Grevilleas, Banksias, Wattles. These plants naturally occur in Phosphorus-impovorished soils and are extremely efficient at utilising the small amounts of available Phosphorus.
Use Slow Release Fertilisers Slow release fertilisers which include organic fertilisers release the nutrients gradually in a measured dose. Avoid using heavy duty chemical fertilisers as they kill soil bacteria and can also cause chemical imbalances in the soil that lock up nutrients so that they become unavailable to plants. Be careful of soil improvers When using soil improvers such as lime or dolomite, be careful as it can raise the pH of the level to be too alkaline for many natives and will prevent them from being able to utilise the nutrients in the soil.
