Metrosideros excelsa - Iron tree
In Europe from early spring to late June this plant has striking beautiful red flowers, which seem to consist entirely of stamens.
Care
Do not give too much water and provide good drainage
This plant prefers slightly acidic soil
Pruning can best be done after flowering
Once there are visible buds, only give a weak solution of liquid fertilizer once a month as the members of the family Myrtaceae are susceptible to burning due to the accumulation of salts in the soil
Stop giving liquid fertilizer when the plant has finished flowering.
