Growing proteas in pots.
Its a common misconception that proteas dont like being grown in pots.
Use a good quality native potting mix and repot every Spring into the next pot size up.
You are only limited by your ability to move the plant each year into the larger pot. This may get harder as the plant gets bigger.
Prune for shape.
More regular watering is required for plants in pots than those in the ground.
All of the following pictures are of plants happily growing in pots.

So have a go.
