Water: Originating from arid regions, ozothamnus glomeratus exhibits remarkable drought tolerance, needing hydration once every 2-3 weeks. Thriving in full sun, it benefits from rainwater during the growing season, which aids in hydration and nutrient absorption from the soil.

Fertilize: For optimal ozothamnus glomeratus growth, use balanced fertilizer monthly in spring and summer, and high-nitrogen options for early growth. Avoid over-fertilization and cease in autumn and winter. Water soil before applying; monitor for over-fertilization signs like salt build-up or leaf burn.

Pruning: Ozothamnus glomeratus features compact growth with small flower clusters. Prune in early to late winter to promote spring growth, focusing on dead stems and shaping. Light pruning aids denser foliage, prevents disease, and enhances air circulation for overall plant vitality and appearance.

Propagation: Ozothamnus glomeratus belongs to the Asteraceae family, known for its resilience and beauty. Propagate by sowing healthy seeds in well-draining soil, maintaining moisture without oversaturation. Adequate spacing is essential for root development. Transplant sturdy seedlings to suitable locations for optimal growth.
