    I have 2 purple varieties that I absolutely adore! I just handed out several envelopes of seeds to my 'Buy Nothing' Chapter folks with some heirloom tomato starts as a sweet bonus.
    I'm in Southern Oregon, US in a place where I get extreme heat but not cold. The African daisy is exquisite to me. I've never grown many flowers that weren't on vegetables and herbs, all edibles.
    These bloom gorgeously in the spring and fall and only calm down during the hottest few months and rest in the winter.
    I'm absolutely going to try your propagation method when I have more time but, I will be saving and sharing seeds far and wide.
    From butterflies and bees to hummers and crab siders, I cannot get enough. I hope to collect as many colors/varieties that I can!
    Thank you!

    I haven't started these from cuttings yet, but in general, I too will leave 2 or 3 leaves. But if the large leaves seem droopy, I'll cut off half of a large long leaf (just leaving a stem plus half the green). It will keep making photosynthesis but isn't so large that it's loosing all it's moisture and drooping. 💖🌞🌵😷

    Planted in mid-autumn.

    Thanks for your excellent info. From Brisbane Australia. It is quite hard to find advice for a climate like ours. Humidity, then wind, then drowning rain, then cold snap, then dry winds, then 6-8 weeks with blazing sun and no rain, more humidity. etc etc. Gardens don't like that. Plants that were doing well will suddenly die. Palms flourish, but they become too big for a suburban yard. They take over and then are high maintenance. Your garden looks lovely. Are you in an area with elevation? In South East queensland the best gardens are above 300m in the hills. Often red soil there too. Regards Lawrie.

    • @redsoilgardener
      @redsoilgardener  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Lawrie, Greetings from Kenya. So sorry to hear about the climate in Brisbane. It breaks my heart.
      Kenya is very diverse in terms of climate. Nairobi, where I live is about 1,800 feet above sea level and about 100km south of the equator. Luckily we are sheltered from extreme climate. However, with climate change I dread to see what this year will bring as we go into our summer. We are all praying for rain.

    What a delightful video to listen and see. My mum just ask me how to take cuttings from osteospermun this morning because this last 3 days we get and unusual amount of snow for this time and some branches get broken by the weight of the snow... yesterday I bring my new varieties in pots inside and I will be waiting to transplant them later on.

    Just found your channel and video on osteospernum because I have two plants here in Arizona USA zone 8b and it is August 3,2024 and they both flushed out besutifully but now sporadically blossoms and have gotten leggy. I’ve tried just dead heading but still looks spindles so I gave it a pretty good pruning hoping it will flush back out. Did I kill them? We still have a couple of more months of warm weather.

    • @redsoilgardener
      @redsoilgardener  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Michele, No I don't think you have killed them. A good pruning means your plant will become bushier and that is a good thing.
      Normally if a plant gets leggy it is an indication that it is not getting enough sunlight. Also when there is not enough sunlight you won't get enough blooms. Try move it gradually, start with morning sun and then gradually into a sunny spot.

    Hello again Alice,i hope you’re well and still enjoying your beautiful garden sunshine.
    I’m afraid, I need your advice again please? ...I was successful with several plants of the osteospurman seed sowing (white and blue variety)...but they very “leggy” about 12”/16” tall...just one stem so not bushy at all. The flowers were are stunning but they’re very top heavy. As they grow they’re obviously turning to the sun but I’m wondering IF there is a chance I can get them to bush out a bit...ANY
    advice will be GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED. Keep on being fabulous. Xx

    Nice video. Whats the pot size and how many plants did you sow in each pot ?

    • @redsoilgardener
      @redsoilgardener  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your comment. If it's a propagation, after taking a cutting I place the cuttings in a small 4inch diameter pot and 4 inches height. I would usually place two cuttings in each pot. As it gets rooting, I would then start separating the plants into individual pots of the same size. This is to create a larger space for the individual cutting to spread its roots. Once the plant is settled and larger I would then move it into an 8inch diameter/ 8" height pot until I am ready to introduce it into the garden. These are plastic pots as plants need moisture to propagate and I find terracotta pots lose moisture due to transpiration.

    Hey there, firstly THANK YOU SO MUCH, your video is SoOoooO informative. Absolutely brilliant. I’m in the uk and I’ve started some seedlings off...they’re roughly 3” tall. Roughly, how big are they supposed to be when planting outside?
    Once again THANK YOU. I’ve subscribed!! 🙌🏾🙌🏼

    • @redsoilgardener
      @redsoilgardener  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you for subscribing. When you feel the supporting stem is strong enough then I would repot them in a slightly larger container, still nuture them as I feel 3' is still young to introduce in the garden also as you are going into summer and the babies may wilt.
      Once the stem is about 6''and strong enough and you got more branches, you can pinch the tops to make additional branches. Then wait for the new branches to get strong... then you can introduce them in the garden or pot

      They are half hardy perennial, but some cultivar and hybrids are grown as annuals. So this will effect your overwinter care. Its best to check with your local nursery.

    Thank you for a great video. Do bees cross pollinate African Daisies to produce different colours of daisies? I have heaps of self sown African Daisy plants of all different colours where I only started with 3 different colours.

    • @redsoilgardener
      @redsoilgardener  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thats really interesting. I would assume that bees do help in the cross pollination as they are attracted to the pollen and the nectar of the daisy flower.

    • @redsoilgardener
      @redsoilgardener  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Nives I normally use rooting hormone as it does speed up the process. I have seen that in India they use honey and cinnamon and it appears to work, but i have never tried it. I have also done cuttings without the rooting hormone and it still works but slower. Depending on the plant you could try water propagation if you cant get rooting hormone.

      Interesting that your Daisies are so tall.
      As your daisies grows, the buds will appear at the top of the stem and within a few days they will open out. Once they flower, don't forget to deadhead the spent flowers in order to increase your blooms. Check out our episode on deadheading and pinching
