Dear Ellen,
A nursery very close to me actually produces Leucadendron and I would
suggest planting in prepared soil as the same mix used for their
propagation.
The nursery use a mix of decomposed granite, clay loam and composted bark.
Leucadendron need a very free draining poor soil type that is on the acidic
side. They must not be fed with any Phosphates as this can cause damage to
the the fine roots.
Best Wishes,
Dave
