Hi Tui, I would like to plant a Protea either in a Pot or the ground. Do I use a fertiliser and what precautions do I need to take in terms of the weather? Your advice is always greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.

Hi Frank, proteas require a fertiliser that has low or no phosphorus (P) as they are able to extract phosphorus from the soil. Tui Performance Naturals liquid fertilisers have no phosphorus so are suitable for proteas. Alternatively, Tui Sheep Pellets are also low in phosphorus. 

Happy gardening, Tui Team
