Top Tips
Grow your Waxflower in poor, free-draining soil, and position in sheltered but sunny location.
Care Information
- Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place.
- We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.
- Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
- Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot. Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
- Firm in the soil with your palm, avoiding the root ball and water well.
- Keep plants well-watered until established.
