Osteospermum afromontanum prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler winter months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid fungal issues.

Prune Osteospermum afromontanum regularly to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but a more significant trim is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Osteospermum afromontanum can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Select healthy stems, cut them about 7-10 cm long, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist until roots form.

Repot Osteospermum afromontanum every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil and perlite or sand, to ensure good aeration.
