Care Guide
Good pest and disease resistance
One issue osteospermums can have is with aphids: check the leaves regularly for any possible infestation. If you see some, pick the bugs off and spray the infected area with some soapy water. You can also plant a companion plant nearby, such as marigolds, which will attract predatory insects such as ladybirds.
Water regularly
Water to keep the soil consistently moist. During hot, dry spells, this can require you to water the plant every day, especially if the plant is in a hanging basket or pot.
Full Sun
Osteospermums should be planted somewhere they receive around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day.
Moderately fertile, well-drained soil
Osteospermums can tolerate poorer soils so potting compost is not necessary but the soil should be well-draining.
Feed regularly
Feed every two weeks during the growing period with a general purpose plant food.
