Popularity

Treasure flower needs 0.5 cups of water every 9 when it doesn't get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5" pot.

Sunlight

Planting instructions will suggest planting in a sterile potting mix.

Soil

Use a fertilizer formulated specifically for your plant. Avoid over-fertilizing and follow the instruction on the label.

Fertilizer

Get rid of damaged leaves and stems. This is important because damaged leaves and stems can actually be an energy drain on your plant. By removing those dead parts, you're taking some of that work off your plant’s plate and allowing it to divert its energy into healthy leaves and new growth!

Pruning

Gazania plants are adaptable enough to overwinter indoors so you won’t need to purchase new plants or seeds for the next growing season. You can dig up the plant at autumn's end while they are still in bloom, bringing the beauty of the outdoors in. However, the plant won't be able to maintain its flower output indoors, so cut the plant back and keep it in a cool, sunny window. Water when the soil surface is dry. Check the plants regularly for pests like mealybugs that may proliferate on indoor specimens.

Propagation

The plant is cold hardy to 25°F. Gazania grows well in mild to warm Mediterranean climate conditions and struggle when temperatures exceed 110°F.

Temperature

Plants that don't like a lot of moisture will need a drainage hole for moisture to escape and for airflow to circulate through the pot. Another important function of drainage holes is to allow water to flush the soil of excess salts from fertilizers.
