How do I maintain native plants in my garden?

Maintaining native plants involves understanding their specific needs. What type of native plants do you have?

I have a mix of wildflowers and shrubs.

Great! For wildflowers, ensure they get enough sunlight and water, but avoid overwatering. Shrubs may need pruning in early spring.

How often should I water them?

It depends on the species, but generally, native plants require less water than non-natives. Water deeply but infrequently.

Any tips for dealing with pests?

Encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs and use organic pest control methods. Regularly inspect your plants for signs of trouble.
