Needing some advice on this grevillea please.
I've tried iron chelate, native fertiliser, a seasol tonic, more water,/less water over over th last 6 months with no luck.
It's in a sandy soil in Frankston Victoria and the other natives around it are thriving.
Maybe worth noting is I bought this quite established while all the other plants were either tube stock or smaller 6 inch pots.
Would love to save this one so any help would be appreciated 🙂

I just used Google and had a read, “Brown tips on Grevillea Leaves”.
It suggested reasons were too much or lack of water, soil salinity, too much fertiliser, poor drainage, environmental issues like strong winds.
It’s still alive, not looking the best but it’s a plus.
Doesn’t look especially unhealthy to me – just a bit of curl on the leaves which probably indicates a bit of root disturbance. It will recover. Don’t overwater it (is it sandy soil on a clay base?), make sure soil pH is in the right range, and forget about it for a while – neglect can be a virtue!
Awww😢
Does it get enough sun? Is there another plant nearby affecting it?
