I'm going to paste links to
two different articles that may help you pinpoint the problem(s):
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/root-rot-in-garden-plants.htm
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/leaf-browning-in-center.htm
If you've had an especially wet winter and/or spring, your plant may have some root rot.

Here's another article about what conditions are necessary for a healthy protea:

It would also help to spread some mulch around the plant. That will help cool the soil and prevent moisture loss.
