Much of our natural bushlands and forests have been destroyed in the name of progress and development, with the result that many species are extinct or endangered. Reason Two - Local plants are suited to local conditions. An enormous range of species are available to suit most parts of Australia. We can find species such as shade trees, hedges, screen plants, ground covers, rockery species and flowers. Reason Three - Native plants attract native birds.
Birds manage to keep the number of insects down during most seasons.
Taking Care of Seedlings. Water seedlings regularly to keep the soil moist, but do not over water. Before watering, check if the soil at the bottom of the tubes are wet. Keep seedlings in open sun or partial shade with good air circulation. The seedlings should be left to grow until they have developed a second set of leaves.
