Help me, my grevillea is dying...

Posted by pennyw74 NSW (My Page) on

We planted native plants in our garden about seven weeks ago. A callistemon, three different grevilleas, a banksia and a boronia.

All these plants have settled in really nicely and new growth is on everything.

One of the grevilleas we have is "Edna Walling - Softly Softly" (Grevillea alpina x lanigera "Blush").

It has been great, flowers all over it until now. Last Saturday it was looking ok but Sunday, it wasn't looking great. Monday, it was looking worse. It seems to be going downhill really fast. All the new flowers have kind of shrivelled up and the plant looks dry.

We have had some hot days here but since the plants seem establishd, we have backed off with the water. All the other plants are doing fine. We did give them some water on Saturday, though.

I have given it a dose of Seasol on Friday night. I know i's still alive but I just don't know for how long.

Can anybody help me? I want to save my plant.

Did you fertilise? The wrong kind of fertiliser can kill them like that.

I only used slow release native fertiliser at planting, same with all the other plants.
