How to ensure Grevillea plants grow evenly?

amichaelmedia

Hey all

I've got a trio of grevillea moonlights along my north facing fence line. All now look so different. I'm just concerned about the one in the middle

I've treated all the same, fertilizer when needed, seasol when needed, new mulch, water during summer.

The outside two flower so much more. The middle one not so much. (This is the smallest one)

Hi @amichaelmedia,

It sounds like you are already taking fantastic care of your grevilleas, so I don't think there is much to worry about.

You can give them a light trim to help even them up a bit and encourage bushier growth. That can help bring them closer in size over time rather than letting the bigger ones keep getting ahead.

That said, it’s pretty common for plants like grevilleas to grow differently even when they’re treated the same. A lot of it comes down to small differences in soil, drainage, root space, or even how much sun each one actually gets along the fence line. The middle one might just be in a slightly less favourable spot.

I wouldn't be too concerned, as long as it looks healthy overall, which it does, it should come along in time. Sometimes the slower one just takes a bit longer to establish before it really gets going.
