How do you grow them?
Growing DIANELLA Plants is very easy. They perform well in fertile
soils. The most suitable time to add fertilizer to the plant is just before
producing new spring growth. They do very well in well-drained soils. They can,
however, tolerate poor soil but for better results enriching the soil is
critical. After planting, frequently water them and apply mulch to retain the
moisture. After they establish themselves in the ground, they become cold and
drought tolerant.
Caring for Dianella plants
To keep the plant looking tidy, old, yellow and
pest-infected leaves should be removed occasionally. The affected foliage is
bagged up and thrown away to prevent the disease from spreading to other
leaves. When adding fertilizer, you should not place the compost too close to
the base of the plant to avoid burning. Fertilizer granules that land on the
leaves should be washed away using a hose. To avoid congestion, clumps can be
thinned and separated, especially during autumn.
