Default king protea

Hi,

My King Protea, since it was planted from the nursery 2 years ago, has not
flowered once. I planted it with the fertiliser tablet as the nursery
suggested, and have only occasionally thrown some native garden osmocote on
it. It's sitting in slightly acidic sand, covered by mulch. I notice some of
the leaves have 'rust spots' on it and assume that this means an imbalance
of some sort?

Could someone help?


Is it getting lots of sun?

How big is it? If it's still small, waiting another year might help.

Maybe take some spotty leaves to the nursery you got it from and ask
them if they look like a problem
