Astelia nervosa care tips

Astelia nervosa is a low-maintenance plant that benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Remove old or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage fresh growth. Apply mulch annually to retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth. A light application of slow-release fertiliser in spring will help support healthy foliage. It’s tolerant of frost and wind but performs best in a sheltered position with good drainage.
