Hello to all! I am wondering, if anyone has ever cared for a Protea. I bought this Protea in 2008, too bad I did not take a photo of the amazing flowers it has, thinking it will come back. From then on I only got leaves, at least it was alive. While I was away recently for 2.5 months, my dear hubby decided to uproot and replant in a different pot, and when I returned all the leaves died, had to remove them all, and was left with just the stem. Seems alive I think, but not really sure if I should just give up on it and just get another one later on..any thoughts please?

The Protea is the one in the blue glazed pot..
