Plant Care Tips

• Light: Plant in full sun for the healthiest growth and best flowering.
• Water: Water regularly during the establishment period. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and only requires occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Avoid heavy clay soils and areas where water collects.
• Feeding: Feed sparingly with a low-phosphorus fertiliser suitable for proteas and other fynbos plants.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower heads and lightly prune after flowering to encourage a compact shape and future blooms.
• Growing Conditions: Ensure excellent drainage and avoid disturbing the roots once planted, as proteas prefer minimal root disturbance.
