Notas de cultivo
This grevillea is moderately sized, making a nice foundation plant. You'll want to prune off spent flowers, but other than that, you won't need to prune much, since low grevilleas tend to form nicely without it.
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.
