Acidic, well-draining sandy loam or specialized Proteaceae mix with perlite and pumice.
Allow soil to dry between waterings. Drought tolerant once established. Reduce watering significantly in winter dormancy.
Requires full sun exposure for best flowering. Indoors, place in a south-facing window or under strong grow lights to prevent legginess.
Apply low-phosphorus fertilizer monthly during growing season (Spring/Summer). Avoid high phosphorus which harms Proteaceae roots.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Remove dead branches promptly.
