watering

For Treasure Flower (Gazania (group)), water thoroughly when the top inch of soil begins to dry. Water until the entire pot is evenly saturated. In warmer months, this may be every 5 to 7 days. During cooler months with shorter days, you may find that your plants need watering every 10 to 14 days. It is important to be vigilant in watching for signs of wilting and adjust the frequency of watering as needed.

sunlight

The treasure flower (Gazania (group)) requires at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day for optimal growth. During the summer months, the plant should receive full sun throughout the day. During the winter months, it should receive morning sun and some afternoon sun. The amount of sunlight may vary depending on the region, season, and climate. It is important to be mindful of the intensity of the sun's rays as too much direct sunlight can be harmful for the plant. To help protect the treasure flower from too much direct sunlight, it is beneficial to place it in a spot that receives some shade during the day.

pruning

Treasure flower (Gazania group) will benefit from regular pruning. Pruning should be done after the plant has finished blooming, typically in late summer, but before new growth appears in the spring. This will encourage the plant to become bushier and fuller in the coming season. Be sure to use sharp shears or scissors when pruning, as this will help to keep the plant healthy and produce more blooms. Begin by pruning away any dead or damaged leaves and flowers. Then take your shears and cut the stems of flowers, cutting just above the second leaves. This will encourage new growth. Finally, you can trim away the unruly parts of the plant, helping to keep it more compact.
