Yeah, to some extent, annie: they love a good prune once a year after flowering, mine have always responded positively, plus they also like to have the dead flowers removed, though that can be a tedious task. I tend to prune to shape, that is I cut away all the dead flower 'sticks', then shape the bush to give it a balanced appearence. B.

Love that colour. A very nice, but hairy "toothbrush" :>)

This is the bush. The little grey plant underneath, of course, is not part of the grevillea; it's helichrysum 'silver dome'. B.

I think it could be a couple of thing and you will have to do a process of elimination. Q. is it grafted? if so it could be reverting back to the main plant, how do you find out is to check the base of the plant below the graft and see if you see any shots of the old plant. if you do prune them off back to stomp, now with plants reverting back it a bit of touch and go for your Grevillea some time you save the plant some time not sorry. Q. Fertilizing when did you fertilizes the plant and what with? you can use the wrong fertilizer and burn the plant. best to use a specialised Native fertilizer for Natives. Q. how hot has the days been? if really hot days, I would be water any pot plant at lest three days a week. just check the potting mix in the pot for moisture, if it moist don't water it. Q. how old has the plant been in the pot for? check to see if the plant is not root bound, if so maybe upgrade it to a bigger pot with new potting mix.
