Selecting the correct native plant fertiliser is essential as they often tend to be slow growing and so require a tailored nutrient plan to meet their needs without overdoing it and potentially injuring the plant. The Plant Company’s Native Plant Fertiliser has been specifically blended to give 12-months of continuous nutrition and give plants an initial boost with all right nutrients. This fertiliser is applied at half a handful (half a cup) spread evenly around each plant (ideally in early spring), just once per year. This fertiliser blend is suitable for all types of natives that are planted outdoors and should not be used for natives that are grown in a container. Use The Plant Company’s Indoor Plant Fertiliser for natives that are growing in a container.

Why Griselinia Needs Specialised Fertiliser

Griselinia littoralis is a beloved NZ native, widely used for hedging thanks to its fast growth and resilience. However, planting griselinia in nutrient-poor soils or failing to supplement with a dedicated griselinia fertiliser can lead to yellowing leaves, sparse growth, and vulnerability to pests. Native Plant Fertiliser is formulated to deliver slow-release nutrition, tailored specifically for natives like griselinia, providing balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium without overstimulating growth. This ensures your plants remain robust and less prone to disease.

How to Apply Griselinia Fertiliser

For best results, apply Native Plant Fertiliser at planting time by mixing it into the soil around the roots. For established hedges, an annual application in early spring and again in late summer will encourage healthy flushes of foliage and steady growth. Always water in well after applying your preferred griselinia fertiliser to help nutrients reach the root zone.

If you are starting a new hedge, consider using Six months controlled release fertiliser for reliable, sustained feeding. Pairing this with our Bi-Agra-Water Retention Aid can help plants withstand dry spells, reducing stress and maintaining consistent growth.

Expert Tips for Greener Griselinia

Regular feeding with a quality griselinia fertiliser is key to hedge success. Always mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and monitor soil moisture, particularly during dry summers. Pairing nutrients with proper care will ensure your griselinia performs beautifully for years to come.
