Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture buildup.
Prune Argyranthemum callichrysum after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming.
Hard pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate Argyranthemum callichrysum from softwood cuttings taken in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them moist and in a warm, bright location.
Once established, transplant into individual pots.
Repot Argyranthemum callichrysum every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting compost.
This provides fresh nutrients and space for root development.
