Frequently Asked Questions

At All Green, we’ve compiled answers to common questions about Lomandra plant care, planting, and maintaining these versatile, low-maintenance natives. With our expert guidance and top-quality Lomandra plants for sale, your gardening experience will be successful and rewarding.

How much sunlight do Lomandra plants need?

Lomandra plants are incredibly versatile and thrive in conditions ranging from partial shade to full sun. While they prefer sunny spots for optimal growth, they’re also happy in dappled shade, making them suitable for various garden settings. Plant your Lomandra in well-draining soil with access to sufficient sunlight to encourage lush foliage and robust growth. This adaptability makes Lomandra longifolia ideal for diverse uses like rain gardens, erosion control, or steep banks.

How often should I water Lomandra plants?

During their establishment phase, water Lomandra plants weekly to keep the soil evenly moist. Once mature, these drought-tolerant plants require minimal watering, even in dry climates. In hotter months, a little extra watering may be needed to prevent stress. Adding mulch around the base helps retain moisture, keeps roots cool, and supports healthy growth in challenging conditions.

Can I grow Lomandra plants indoors?

Yes, Lomandra plants can thrive indoors when placed in bright, indirect light. Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix and ensure the container has proper drainage to avoid soggy roots. Their compact size and hardy nature make Lomandra an excellent choice for bringing a touch of texture and greenery to indoor spaces, whether in homes or offices.

What’s the best way to feed Lomandra plants?

Feed Lomandra with a slow-release fertiliser in spring to boost root development and vibrant foliage. Before planting, incorporate organic compost into the soil to improve its structure and nutrients. These low-maintenance plants require minimal feeding and adapt well to sandy, clay, or nutrient-poor soils, making them perfect for gardeners seeking simplicity without sacrificing beauty.

What’s the ideal way to maintain Lomandra plants?

Prune Lomandra in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged foliage and stimulate fresh, new growth. For mass plantings, trim clumps as needed to maintain a tidy, uniform appearance. Regularly check for weeds and ensure good soil drainage to keep your plants thriving. Whether used for erosion control, borders, or ground cover, Lomandra adds enduring beauty to any garden.
