    Water: Gazania plants are drought-tolerant and do not require much watering.
  1. Timing: Gazanias are warm-season plants, so plan to start the seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. This gives them enough time to establish before being transplanted outside.
  2. Prepare Containers: Use seed-starting trays or small pots with good drainage holes. Fill the containers with a well-draining seed-starting mix or a blend of potting soil, sand, and perlite.
  3. Sow Seeds: Place one or two seeds in each container, about 1/4 inch deep in the soil. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and gently pat it down.
  4. Watering: Moisten the soil gently with water, but avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to seed rot. Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate.
  5. Germination: Place the seed trays or pots in a warm and brightly lit area, preferably near a window with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Gazania seeds usually germinate within 7-21 days.
  6. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have developed two to four true leaves and are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden. If transplanting outdoors, ensure the last frost date has passed.
  7. Outdoor Planting: Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. Gazanias prefer full sunlight and thrive in warm temperatures. Space the transplants at least 6-12 inches apart to give them enough room to grow.
  8. Soil and Fertilizer: Gazanias are not picky about soil but prefer sandy or loamy soil that is well-draining. You can add some compost or organic matter to improve the soil structure. Fertilize occasionally with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  9. Watering: While Gazanias are drought-tolerant once established, it’s essential to keep them watered during dry periods. Water deeply, but allow the soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot.
  10. Deadheading: To encourage continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers by removing them at the base. This will stimulate the plant to produce more flowers.
  11. Pest and Disease Control: Gazanias are generally hardy plants with few pest or disease issues. However, keep an eye out for common garden pests like aphids, snails, or slugs and address them promptly if they appear.
