Six plants exploring their function and uses for the following scenarios;

1. 3 plants suitable for xeriscape gardens ORphytoremediation

2- 3 plants that are suitable for wildlife

In detail, some good examples will be appreciated

It should be in Victoria, Australia, but fine with other part of Australia Aswell

Needed good sources from where data is retrieved from, like government websites, articles and university search, Every plant needs a reference and source linked as an requirement

I am sharing one template, need to be done accordingly.

Plant

Common Plant Name

Origin of Plant

Ideal conditions: It may be useful to refer to the plant's "natural" conditions/place of origin here

Light

Water

The plant's general water requirements and water -related adaptations

Nutrients

Whether the plant is particularly "hungry" or sensitive to certain nutrients

Climate ranges and temperature sensitivity

Eg frost/drought sensitive/hardy

Plant Cultural Requirements and Growing Conditions

Soil Type

Sand/silt/clay or loam? You might consider salinity, ephemeral wetland conditions, whether contaminant/excessive nutrient hardy etc

pH Level

refers to concentration of hydrogen ions in a water based substance. pH is arranged in a scale (0-14) with acidic solutions at the low end and alkaline solution at the high end. 7 is neutral.

Watering

Considering the soil type and exposure of your site/scenario, what watering program might you implement to keep your selected plant at peak function?

Consider that excess watering can leach contaminants and accelerate erosion.

Fertilisation

Plant nutrition reccomendations
