Euryops pectinatus aka Bush Daisy
Taxonomy
Common names
Bush Daisy, Gray Leaf Euryops, BrighteyesHow to care for Bush Daisy
Difficulty
Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Bush Daisy due to its easy-going nature.
Water
Bush Daisy should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Bush Daisy loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
Bush Daisy thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Brighteyes.
Dormancy
During the wintertime, it's common for Bush Daisy to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
