Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Select a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
    • Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
    • Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
    • Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.
    • Once established, reduce watering frequency; Long-Leafed Westringia is drought-tolerant and prefers drier conditions.
    • Ensure the soil dries out between watering to prevent root rot.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune lightly after the main flowering period in spring to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.
    • This shrub can be pruned more heavily to form formal hedges or topiaries if desired.
    • Regular pruning also helps to promote more prolific flowering.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Westringia longifolia generally requires little to no fertilization.
    • A light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring can be applied if the soil is poor.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to leggy growth and reduce the plant's drought tolerance.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Generally pest and disease-resistant, Westringia longifolia is a low-maintenance plant.
    • Monitor for common garden pests like aphids or scale, and treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
    • Ensure good air circulation and avoid overly wet soil to prevent any potential fungal issues.
