How do you look after silver banksia?

To care for silver banksia, plant it in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. Water regularly during dry periods to establish roots, but once mature, silver banksia tolerates drought. Protect from strong winds and apply a low-phosphorus native plant fertilizer sparingly. Prune to shape and promote airflow, but avoid heavy pruning as silver banksia may not regenerate from old wood. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Monitor for pests and diseases, treating as necessary.
