The Pincushion Protea requires perfect drainage and excellent air circulation to thrive. Plant in sandy, acidic soil. NEVER use fertilizers containing phosphorus, as it will quickly kill the plant; they have specialized roots designed to extract nutrients from poor soils. Water deeply but infrequently. Prune stems immediately after flowering by cutting back to a healthy node with active buds to encourage bushiness. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
