Tips for growing Australian Natives:

• Most Australian Natives prefer well drained soils, so avoid planting in water-logged soils. For clay soils dig in compost and manure. Digging through gypsum will also help making clay soils more friable. For sandy soils dig in organic matter and compost and mulch well
• Daily watering via drip or spray systems is essential in dry and summer periods to establish native plants. In addition, while establishing the plants, a weekly soaking will ensure good results. Mulching twice a year will help native plants tolerate droughts.
• Make sure nutrients are present throughout the growing period, so time your Troforte applications accordingly. A heavier application prior to flowering and during fruit set will enhance the quality of flowers and fruit.

Application:

Planting or Transplanting

• Using the scoop supplied, sprinkle the instructed dosage of Troforte around the bottom of the hole or pot. Also mix into the back-fill soil. Water in well.

Established Trees or plants:

• Using the scoop supplied, sprinkle the instructed dosage of Troforte around the base of the plant and out to the drip line. Cover with mulch, compost or organic matter if possible, and immediately water in well.
