City of Bayswater Native Plants to Residents Program
Planting Guide
- DIG - Dig a hole roughly twice the size of the pot.
- ADD - Add a generous spadeful of soil improver. Mix in well.
- WET - Fill hole with water. If water doesn't drain quickly consider using a soil wetting agent (follow product directions).
- FEED - Add 1 teaspoon of slow release fertiliser (optional).
- PLANT - Remove your plant gently from the pot (tapping the top rim with a trowel can help). Place it in the hole and backfill, firming the soil gently by hand. Create a shallow saucer around the plant to assist with watering.
- DRINK - Water well to settle in your new plant.
- AFTERCARE - Regular watering after planting is important, especially through the first couple of summers. If conditions are dry water once per week, ensuring the soil is well saturated. During heat waves consider watering twice a week.
