Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Argyranthemum broussonetii moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage in pots and allow the soil to slightly dry out between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter.
Prune Argyranthemum broussonetii regularly to encourage bushier growth and abundant flowering. Deadhead spent blooms frequently to prolong blooming.
Lightly trim back stems after the main flowering period in late summer or early autumn to maintain shape.
Propagate Argyranthemum broussonetii from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in mid-summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until established.
Repot Broussonet's Argyranthemum every 2-3 years in spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with adequate drainage holes. Use a peat-based, well-draining potting mix.
