     Specific Species need individually tailored care. Cordyline require regular
     cutting of long stems to encourage branching and bushiness. Cut pieces can
     be divided again and placed in the ground to thicken plantings.


     Hymenocallis are subject to Leaf Spot in prolonged wet conditions, a fungal
     disease with red raised or lacerated patches. Remove affected leaves and
     bulbs as seen and destroy them. If individual Lilies are badly affected destroy
     the entire plant. Do not overwater and drip irrigate rather than spraying foliage.


     Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea, Protea, Buckinghamia, & Macadamia are members
     of the Proteaceae family and are Phosphorus sensitive. Use fertilizers with low P
     ratio. They also resent root disturbance and transplanting is difficult.

     Some tufted plants will form a built up of dead leaves around their bases that
     need to be removed for neat appearance. Lomandra, DianeI/o, & Ficinia may
     need trimming every 3-5 years to retain optimum growth. Prune into a ball
     shape about half original height. Citrus hystrix (Kaffir Lime) are to be treated as
     any Citrus tree and enjoy twice yearly applications of fertilizer, manure and
     compost around the drip line. They are shallow rooted so need regular watering
     and a good layer of mulch, but avoid placing against the trunk.


     Heliconias & Gingers are helped along by application of Zeolite minerals and
     lots of compost at planting and annually thereafter.


     Gardenia and Camellia beds should be fertilised annually with food specific to
     these species.
