Linda demonstrates how to best take care of those beautiful Australian Natives with some premium potting mix!

• Osmocote Premium Potting Mix for Natives is a specially formulated potting mix that creates ideal soil conditions for growing Australian native and other phosphorus-sensitive plants in pots and the garden.
• Native Australian plants are naturally very phosphorus sensitive and high levels of phosphorus causes yellowing of leaves and overall poor health for native plants.
• The potting mix Linda is using is ideal for creating low pH environments, and it has boosted iron and calcium that promotes healthy dark green foliage.
• It is suitable for all Australian native plants, such as Banksia, Bottlebrush and Grevillea.
• The potting mix also includes Scotts Osmocote fertiliser, which distributes nutrients and feeds for 6 months. It is safe to use for new plants - the controlled release of nutrients means it will not burn soft leaves or tender young roots.
• Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage. Controlled release means feeding less often and more effectively; less frequent feeding is more economical and environment-friendly.
