Grevillea and watering
Hi, I'm a newbie to the site, and hope you can help. I live in Cornwall, so far, so wet, but my newish Grevillea has survived the winter, being kept semi sheltered and unwatered in the main. When do I start to water it and how much should I give it please.
Thanks in advance

Is it in the ground or in a pot?
Grevilleas like free draining sandy soil, and like most Australian natives like low phosphate so do not use bonemeal,and are drought tolerant. The roots go down deep in search of water. If it is in the ground in Cornwall, the occasional bucket of water once a week in dry periods will do. In Cornwall I suspect mother nature will provide adequately.
