Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• Scarify: Gently rub the seeds with sandpaper or nick them with a knife to break the seed coat, improving germination.

• Soak: Soak the seeds in room temperature water for 24-48 hours to further enhance 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.

• Keep the soil moist 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 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.

• Apply 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.

Happy Gardening!
