weather prophet

Weather Prophet (Dimorphotheca pluvialis) should be watered moderately every 2-3 days during the heat of summer. Watering should be less frequent during cooler months, about once a week. The soil should be moist but not soggy; if possible, check the soil moisture before watering. Overwatering can cause root rot and other problems. Be sure to water the soil, not the leaves, to ensure the water gets to the roots. Be sure to remove any standing water to prevent root rot.

Weather Prophet plants require 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day, preferably in the earlier part of the day. They thrive in direct sunlight and can tolerate partial shade during the hottest parts of the day. Plant Weather Prophet in a spot that receives plenty of bright light throughout the day. Avoid planting near a large tree or structure that will provide too much shade. For best results, keep the plant in a sunny spot in the garden or on a patio or balcony. It is important to ensure that the plant gets the right amount of sunlight throughout the season, as this will help it to flower abundantly.

Weather prophet (Dimorphotheca pluvialis) should be pruned in early spring, before the emergence of new growth. This will ensure that the plant stays healthy and maintains its attractive shape. The depth of the pruning should be minimal, as the goal is not to remove leaves or stems, but to clean up and reduce the size of the plant. To achieve this, remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and then trim back the longer branches by 1 third to 1 half of their current size. This will help to encourage healthier, fuller growth. Pruning should be done periodically throughout the growing season to maintain the desired size and shape of the plant.
