Grevillea Robusta, Silver Oak , Australian Pine Plant

Here are five care tips for Grevillea robusta (silky oak):

Sunlight: Plant Grevillea robusta in a sunny location, as it thrives in full sun. It can tolerate partial shade but will produce fewer flowers.

Soil: Ensure well-draining soil. Sandy or loamy soils are ideal, as this plant does not like waterlogged conditions. If your soil is heavy, consider adding organic matter to improve drainage.

Watering: Water young plants regularly until established, then reduce frequency. Grevilleas are drought-tolerant once mature, so avoid overwatering.

Fertilization: Use a low-phosphorus fertilizer, as too much phosphorus can harm these plants. A native plant fertilizer or compost is a good option.

Pruning: Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged branches, but avoid heavy pruning, as this can affect flowering.

With these tips, your Grevillea robusta should thrive!
