Waratahs can be grown from seeds by sowing them into a seed tray with well-drained soil mix, watering them, to keep mix moist not damp.

Cover the seeds with a fine layer of mix and water thoroughly. Transplant the seedlings into a potting mix with good drainage.

For at least one year, keep the waratahs in a potted environment with partial shade and off the ground. When it comes to growing conditions, waratahs thrive in moist, well-drained, and acidic soil with a pH level of 5-6.

To prevent fungal root diseases, the soil should allow for proper drainage. Furthermore, waratahs are sensitive to excessive phosphorus and should only be fertilized with native fertilizers.
