Planting indoors
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
If proteas are grown in containers add crocks to the bottom of them to improve drainage. Compost needs to be well drained and acidic. A mixture of peat, bark, grit and polystyrene beads is ideal. The essential bit is that the compost in your container is well drained. They need full sunlight and plenty of well circulated air.
Planting outside
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Position in full sun, preferably on a south facing slope in well drained, acidic soil which is low in nutrients. Winter protection must be provided in temperatures below 5C, especially for young, newly planted protea.
