    Yes, the Grevillea 'Robin Gordon' loves warmth and thrives in a warm environment. It is important to place the plant in a sunny spot where it receives enough warmth and light to grow and bloom well. Also, make sure to protect the plant from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

    Yes, like most plants, Grevillea 'Robin Gordon' helps purify the air in its immediate vicinity through photosynthesis. These plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, which can improve air quality. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of the plant as an air purifier depends on factors such as the size of the plant and the space in which it is growing.

  • You can prune the plant to maintain its shape and promote new growth. Prune after the blooming period and trim away any dead or damaged branches. Use sharp pruning shears to prevent damage to the plant.

    Give the plant regular water, but make sure the soil does not become too wet. Let the top layer of the soil dry lightly between waterings. Use preferably rainwater or lukewarm water.

    The plant thrives in well-draining potting soil, preferably a mixture of peat, bark, and perlite. Make sure the potting soil does not become too wet, as this can cause root rot. Add plant fertilizer regularly during the growing season to promote plant health.

    "The ideal soil quality for this plant is well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. It is important that the soil is light and airy, so that the roots can receive enough oxygen. Avoid heavy clay soils and overly wet conditions to prevent root rot."

    Provide sufficient light, preferably direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist, but not too wet. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growth period.
