Native plants prefer it, so it's worth building up garden beds or adding underground drainage. And when you're adding soil, make sure to thoroughly mix it in with the existing soil. Don't just sprinkle it on top. Get rid of weeds. Group plants with similar growing conditions together. It's like high school, but for flora. Overwatering was so last year, so be mindful and avoid it. Native plants are pros at thriving without extra fertiliser and dumping on high phosphate fertilisers could do them harm. Try using mulches and groundcover plants! Pruning, remember: less is more. Lightly snipping your plants right after they flower is the way to promote compact growth and more blooms. Don't go crazy with the shears - heavy pruning is a surefire way to kill those plants that can't bounce back from old wood.
