Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking them with a knife to break the seed coat and improve germination.
Soak the seeds in room temperature water for 24-48 hours to further aid germination.

Sowing:

Fill seed trays or pots with a well-draining seed starting mix.
Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them down.
Do not cover the seeds with soil, as they require light to germinate.

Germination:

Place the seed trays in a warm location with indirect sunlight.
Maintain soil moisture by misting the seeds regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot.
Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks, though some species may take longer.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots filled with a well-draining potting mix.
Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Plant proteas in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune dead or damaged growth as needed to maintain plant health and shape.
Protect young plants from frost by covering them with frost cloth or bringing them indoors during cold spells.
