Our king protea
Symbolising resilience and unwavering growth
in the face of adversity
The protea, an evergreen plant with strikingly vibrant flowers, indigenous to South Africa, encompassing over 1,500 species flourishing across diverse conditions, from semi-arid landscapes to moist meadows. Renowned for its adaptability, the protea thrives in acidic soils with a pH of approximately 8.0, withstands extreme temperature fluctuations from 0 to 32 degrees Celsius and even endures under snow. Much like the protea, true wealth management thrives on resilience, adaptability and a commitment to growth, regardless of the challenges faced.
