CYBEXIS Osteospermum Akila Mix Seed  (1 g)

Planting And Care: Remove old and spent leaves to prevent fungus infections.When re-potting see that the crown of the plant is above the level of the soil.Generally, African Daisies do not need insecticides or fungicides.If a problem arises treat them with an insecticidal soap and /or fungicide.Mulching is done around but not on top of the plants with 3 inches of organic compost.Water the African Daisy wild flowers well weekly until soil is completely moist.Osteospermum Care: Sow seeds of Passion Mixed from February to May at 18-20c (64-68F) on a good free draining damp seed compost.A fine sprinkling of vermiculite must be applied, but do not cover the seed completely.Place in a propagator or seal the container inside a polythene bag until after germination (up to 14 days).Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots.Then grow on in cooler conditions before planting out after all risk of frost has past.Plant 30cm (12 inches) apart.
