Notas de cultivo
This grevillea is a moderate sized full shrub that makes a great screen. Sheer it to make the plant extra dense or prune selectively to open it up and make an open airy form. You can also prune off lower branches to expose the trunk in a standard form.
Generally fertilization is to be avoided, but if your soil is alkaline and the grevillea leaves are yellowing, an addition of light acid fertilizer such as cotton seed meal is beneficial. Grevilleas also respond to high-nitrogen fertilizer such as fish emulsion or blood meal. Never give your grevillea fertilizer that is high in phosphorus, and avoid potassium as well.
