10 King Protea Cynaroides South Africa Seeds “Exotic & Very Rare”Dating back approximately 300 million years, proteas are considered to be among the oldest families of flowering plants on the planet, and the most sought after extremely rare flower. Native to South Africa and Australia, they require heat, sun, and extremely well-drained soil. If you’d like a little bit of a challenge, though, protea flowers are beautiful and very unique. They are also perfect for that rocky, hard-to-use part of your garden. One of the first things necessary in growing protea is soil. Protea plants must have well-drained soil. Their roots grow mostly horizontally, just below the surface of the soil. If water is allowed to sit and pool on the surface, the roots will become waterlogged and the plant will die.If you’re planting your protea outside, mix bark and sand into your soil to improve drainage. If you’re planting it in a pot, use a mixture of even parts peat, bark, sand, and styro foam beads. Water your established plants every two to three weeks. If your plants are just starting out, water them more frequently. Proteas can stand a range of temperatures, from 23 F. to 100 F. though they may not survive long exposure beyond that. Protea plants thrive in acidic, nutrient-poor soil. Avoid fertilizer; an abundance of phosphorus, in particular, will kill them. If you have a dry, acidic, rocky part of your garden that can’t seem to support life, you may find protea plant care fairly easy.Protea’s Giant flowers come in large clusters surrounded by bright, spiky bracts that make for a very unusual and striking appearance. The flowers can grow to be anywhere from 5 – 12 inches in diameter. Insects, especially Bees Love them, and they can also be easily dried for flower arrangements. Pick them at their peak, strip away the bottom leaves, and hang them upside down in tightly bound clusters in a dark, breezy spot for two weeks. The flowers retain their color very well and are particularly popular in Christmas wreaths.ZONES 9-10King Protea Germination:1) Submerge the seeds into a fungicide solution before planting them, and leave them in it for at least 12 hours. You can skip this step, but submerging the seed will make the germination process faster, so it’s recommended.2) For germination with Protea seeds, but sure to have the soil acidity PH value of 5.5 to 6.0. You can make the best mixture by adding coarse river sand and peat or degraded pine needles in an equal amount. In addition to the soil acidity, you need to look after about substrate drainage. This can be achieved by adding perlite.3) The next step is the sterilization of the substrate in order to avoid fungi occurrence. You need to put the substrate into a microwave oven for at least 3 minutes or in an oven for at least 45 minutes. Cool the substrate afterwards. This will kill any fungi or bacteria to make the soil sterile.4) The containers for planting Protea need to be able to contain around 500ml of the substrate (large enough to hold 2 cups of soil), and have a holes at the bottom for water drainage. 5) Never fill the container up to the top, leave at least a few inches of space at the top. Plant the seed at the depth of its size and water it generously with the fungicide solution when first planted. Then be sure to only keep the soil “moist”…(never “wet”), as that will cause the seeds to rot.6) For Protea germination, you’ll need a heated propagator mat to provide a temperature of appx 84°F degrees during the day. Use alternating temperatures to mimic their natural conditions and turn off the heated mat at night. The night temperature can be as low as 55°F degrees. Temperature fluctuations will greatly help germination. Also cover the containers or treys with a small piece of plastic or a humidity dome to keep the humidity levels high. Be sure to cut a few very small holes in the plastic so it’s just enough to allow for a small amount of ventilation. 7) Patience will be needed because of the erratic germination rates with most any tropical or exotic seeds. A few may germinate within a month’s time, but most of the seeds can take up to a period of 3 months so don’t toss any seeds out that do not germinate as they are still good and just need a bit more time.8) Once germination occurs, do not place in direct sunlight & gradually start getting them accustomed to direct sunlight exposure. The seedlings will need moderate moisture exposure to stay moist, (Not Wet), & their substrate cannot be let to dry off. Use a spray bottle to keep a nice balance of moisture and they will do great.Buy with Confidence as Customer Service is our #1 Priority and are available 7 days a week.
