Water
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially for potted plants.
Also known as Perennial Hyoseris

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially for potted plants.
Pruning is generally not necessary for Hyoseris radiata. Remove any dead or yellowing foliage as needed to maintain a tidy appearance.
Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooming and prevent unwanted self-seeding if desired.
Propagate by seed sown in early spring, either indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost. Seeds germinate best with light and consistent moisture.
Division of established clumps in spring or autumn is also an effective method.
Repot young plants annually in spring as they grow to provide fresh soil and adequate space. Mature plants in the ground rarely require repotting. If grown in containers, repot when root-bound, typically every 2-3 years.
