The flower does not tolerate cold well, so it should be stored only indoors.
How to grow Protea from seeds
Place your Protea artichoke in the planting hole, keeping the soil level, then carefully fill the hole.
Pack the soil gently but firmly.
If you are planting multiple plants, space them 4 to 6 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting.
The room should be warm and dry.
Nevertheless, it should be remembered that cut protea does not like to stand in the sun - the plant will begin to fade faster, regardless of the water level in the vase.
How to water a protea
Frequent light watering is best. However, you should also not allow the earthen coma to dry out completely - the drought resistance of protea has its limits.
Again, in winter the requirements are different: one-time watering is enough for a month.
It is best to take soft and settled water.
Is it possible to dry Protea
Another advantage of this flower is its amazing vitality.
It can live in bouquets for up to two months, after which it can be dried and used in compositions of dried flowers.
If you are a great connoisseur of exotic plants, then Protea will undoubtedly please you.
