About Robiq Proteas
Robiq Protea is a protea growing nursery, situated just east of Pretoria Gauteng, 17 km north east of the town of Cullinan which is renowned for its diamond mining.
Established in 2007, Robiq Proteas started with a few species of Proteaceae which were already well adapted to the climatic conditions prevailing in the area. Given that the wild P. caffra grows naturally in the area, it was expected that commercially grown Proteas too would do well in the slightly acidic soil that is found in the area.
The varieties that we started with included the Sylvia, Susara, Neriifolia, Repens, , Venetia, Moonshine and Liebencherry. Together with the Proteas we also planted a variety of Leucadendrons, including Safari Sunset, Long Tom, Blush, Pisa, Carlin, Tonia and Jubilee Crown. Both the Protea and Leucadendron species have been added to, and each year we plan on increasing both the quantities and the varieties so as to offer a wider range of flowers and plants to the public.
We operate as a nursery selling directly to the public, as well as supplying commercial nurseries in the cities. We have a variety of plants available and you can also pre-book plants if you want very large quantities.
Our plants are good quality and healthy and are well priced.
Many people find it strange and hard to believe that Proteas grow outside of the Western Cape Fynbos region. They are grown in various countries throughout the world, and do well in Gauteng, Northern Province and Natal.
While our main focus is on producing well rooted plants and pre ordered rooted cuttings for nurseries, farmers and gardeners, we also supply cut flowers in season.
