5 Tips for Growing Native Plants

Choose native plants that are well-suited to your region’s climate and soil conditions for optimal growth. Provide regular watering, especially during the establishment period, to encourage healthy root development. Control pests by regularly inspecting plants for signs of infestation and using natural remedies like neem oil or insecticidal soap. Fertilize native plants with organic, slow-release fertilizers to avoid burning their sensitive roots. Prune native plants in the appropriate season to promote branching and flowering.
