How do you grow Protea White Ice?

Growing Protea White Ice successfully requires the right conditions and a bit of care, but the stunning flowers are well worth the effort. This plant thrives in well-drained, acidic soil with low fertility. A sunny, open location is essential, as Proteas need at least six hours of sunlight per day. 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. When planting, avoid using fertilisers high in phosphorus, as Proteas are sensitive to it. 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. In colder areas, consider planting in a raised bed or container that can be moved to a sheltered spot during frosts. With the right care, Protea White Ice can thrive and produce its iconic, show-stopping blooms for many years.
