No, it is not tropical. While it does like heat, it prefers the dry type as it is from South Africa. It is tolerant of very dry conditions and will suffer if watered too much or grown in a high rainfall area. Make sure drainage is excellent. Never use a fertilizer that is high in phosphorus as it is very sensitive to it, and most regular fertilizers are unsuitable. There are ones available specifically for the Proteacae family. In South Africa and Australia you can use any fertilizer marketed as being for native plants.
