How do you grow Protea Frosted Fire?

Growing Protea Frosted Fire thrives in well-drained, acidic soil with low fertility. A sunny, open location is essential, as Proteas need at least six hours of sunlight daily. They are drought-tolerant once established, so water young plants regularly until they develop strong roots, then reduce watering to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Avoid using fertilisers high in phosphorus, as Proteas are sensitive to it and this can injure or even kill plants. A light mulch of bark or gravel can help retain moisture without affecting the soil pH. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness, but avoid heavy cutting into old wood.
