Acidic sandy loam or peat mix. Strictly no lime. Low nutrient content required.
Deep but infrequent watering. Allow substrate surface to dry between waterings to prevent root rot.
Full sun essential. Indoors requires maximum southern exposure to prevent etiolation and ensure blooming.
Low frequency. Use specialized protea fertilizer in spring only. Avoid high nitrogen.
Remove spent flower heads and dead wood after flowering season to maintain shape.
