watering
For Leopard Plants (Ligularia 'Osiris Fantaisie'), it is important to keep the soil evenly moist but not overly wet. They should be watered once a week, ensuring any excess water is drained away. It is best to water in the morning so the foliage has time to dry before nightfall. This will reduce the risk of fungal diseases. During the hot summer months, water twice a week if the soil starts to dry out. During the winter, reduce watering to once every 2 weeks. If your plant is in a pot, it is important to check the top soil layer for moisture before watering - if it is still moist then the plant doesn't need any additional water. Leopard plants should be fertilized regularly with a balanced fertilizer to keep them healthy.
sunlight
Leopard plants (Ligularia 'Osiris Fantaisie') prefer bright, indirect sunlight for best growth and blooming. Place the plant in a sunny window or in bright, indirect light outdoors. Leopard plants may tolerate some direct sun in the morning or late-afternoon but should be avoided during strong midday sunlight, as it could scorch the foliage. Leopard plants should receive at least 4-6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day.
pruning
Leopard Plant (Ligularia 'Osiris Fantaisie') should be lightly pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Prune off any dead or damaged stems. The plant’s natural shape should be preserved, so avoid heavy pruning. If the plant has become leggy, it can be cut back to about 6 to 8 inches in height, but the foliage will not begin to regrow until late spring or early summer.
