Expert Native Plant Pruning Tips | Gardening Australia
Australian natives do not always need to be left to their own devices. Chelsea Payne explains when a trim helps in “Expert Native Plant Pruning Tips | Gardening Australia,” the most-watched of the channel's six new uploads, with roughly 26,000 views.
Her advice ranges from reducing a shrub by about a third to choosing a tree that suits its space, with sections on coppicing and the wound-paint myth. The comments bring the lesson back to individual gardens: one viewer asks where to cut a tall, thin grevillea, while another recalls watching the program for years and now choosing segments suited to gardening in the tropics.
The rest of the week offers several different scales of gardening. Jerry tackles mosquito breeding spots, Hannah extends a basil harvest, and a tamandama tutorial wraps epiphytes into a hanging ball. Melbourne artist Natasha Bieniek supplies the smallest gardens of all, painting detailed urban greenery before introducing her own first garden.
The newest arrival, “Grow a No-Mow Native Lawn | Gardening Australia,” carries the most daily viewing momentum, followed by Bieniek's segment and the basil lesson. Subscribers grew modestly, leaving the channel just short of 300,000, although daily views are well below their usual pace. For gardeners browsing the new slate, the lawn episode explores both Zoysia turf and kangaroo grass seed.
