“…Other culture and management issues requiring research include: salinity tolerance, irrigation frequency and amount, pruning for optimal flower production and plant growth habit, and the interaction of nutrition with vegetative and reproductive phases of growth. The culture of Leucospermum under protected cultivation and soilless culture systems is receiving attention in areas where the climate is marginal for outdoor culture (Allemand et al 1995;Montarone and Allemand 1995).…”

“…Research effort has focused on the cultivation of Protea in soilless media (Montarone and Allemand 1993). This has led to clarification of the total plant uptake of nutrients for certain species and clones (Montarone and Ziegler 1997).…”

“…The latter is used primarily for P. repens and other species used in the dried flower industry (Coetzee and Littlejohn 1995). Cultivation under glass in soilless media is possible (Montarone and Allemand 1993) and is considered economically viable in the south of France.…”

More than 1400 species have been recognized in the ancient Proteaceae family (Rebelo 1995). Their occurrence is mostly distributed between Australia with about 800 species and Africa with about 400 species with the remainder found in South America, the islands east of New Guinea, and a few species in southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Madagascar. They are broadly referred to as proteas, although we identify specific genera by their Latin names. The subfamily Proteoideae, largely found in Africa, has contributed the genera Protea, Leucadendron, and Leucospermum to floricultural trade, while the Australian Grevilleoideae has contributed Banksia and Grevillea that have found similar use in floriculture and landscaping. Other genera are still emerging in importance (Criley, 2001

“…Fax: +886 5 242 7195 Proteaceae family are sensitive to P nutrition (Silber et al, 2001). It is often reported that high P concentrations are harmful to Proteaceae plants, which result in the development of P toxicity (Hawkins et al, 2008;Montarone and Allemand, 1995;Montarone and Ziegler, 1997;Nichols et al, 1979). In fact, P fertilization is not recommended when growing Proteaceae plants (Littlejohn, 2000).…”
