Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as Gazania othonnites prefers well-drained conditions and can be susceptible to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods.
Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Lightly prune in spring to shape the plant and remove any winter damage. This promotes bushier growth and more blossoms.
Propagate from seed sown in spring or through basal cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds germinate best with warmth and light. Cuttings root readily in well-draining media.
Repot young plants annually or as needed, typically in spring, to provide fresh soil and space for root growth. Mature plants can remain in their pots for several years. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
