In fact, starting to grow Gazania from seed can be an easy way. You can spread direct seeds on the soil that has been scratched. Whether it's the soil in the garden or the pot. Then cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil.
Darkness from the ground can help Gazania seeds sprout. Keep the soil moist but not wet until germination occurs. Make sure to plant this Gazania when it is past winter or frost.
Light, soil, and watering

Gazania can thrive in a full-sun area. Shady morning and afternoon light can cause flowers to stay closed for a portion of the day and can also grow thin. Plant Gazania in well-draining soil. However, they tolerate many soil types and conditions.
Just like any other plant, let the soil on the Gazania dry out before watering. To find out the signs that Gazania needs water, you can see the leaves that turn rough.

Pruning is done if you want plants or flowers that look neat and beautiful. And if you plant Gazania as a perennial, prune it in late winter or early spring. Or if you don't prune flowers, you can prune the foliage to a few inches above the ground.
