For the Love of Plants…

One of the many amazing things about living on the Gold Coast is that there is never a wrong time of year to upgrade your landscaping. The warm climate and a huge number of sunshine hours per year make the Gold Coast the perfect place to germinate seeds and establish plants all year round!

Moist Feet Keeps Growth Consistent
The key to establishing great landscaping is regular watering – but it does not have to be 100s of litres each time. Plants love to have moist feet to optimise growth. This means that they simply prefer the soil to be moist but not flooded. A great guide to watering is if you move the hose or watering can and the water remains pooled for more than 10 seconds, your plant is too wet. Although the Gold Coast does not experience many cool days a year, the climate certainly does have its fair share of hot days when your plants will require additional water. As the seasons change, watering requirements will change too, remember to stick to regular watering and check your plants feet to see if they are happy!

Plants Love a Trim!
It may seem counteractive to cut your plants down low when you want large, lush plants but, trimming is a critical factor to their growth! A plant directs all their energy into the newest parts of the plant which can cause the other areas to get limited energy. Regularly trimming plants stimulates new growth and redirects energy into the remaining elements of the plant. Strong, thick bushes can be easily obtained when you regularly trim them back.
