Story: Troforte Native Gardens
Episode: 12
Presenter: Sue McDougall
Air Date: 7 October 2026

Sue busts some common myths about growing Australian native plants, explaining how the right care, pruning and specialist fertiliser can help natives thrive.

• Many native plants have soft, attractive foliage and offer far more variety than gardeners might expect.
• While natives are often considered low maintenance, good soil preparation and regular tip pruning after flowering help encourage fuller, healthier growth. Native plants benefit from fertilising, with specialist products such as Troforte Fertiliser providing a safe way to support their growth.
• Troforte fertilisers contain beneficial soil microbes, fungi, controlled-release nutrients and trace elements that improve nutrient uptake, support soil health, and help plants become more resilient to drought and disease.
• Suitable for garden beds and potted natives, Troforte is Australian made, environmentally friendly and river and reef safe.
