In sunny positions, plants develop a large number of basket-shaped flowers up to 3 cm in diameter.
The substrate must be slightly acidic (pH 5.5) and should never dry out completely.Plants do not need to be irrigated abundantly, but water (low in calcium) should be provided regularly.
Crested dog is not a voracious plant. During the flowering period, it is enough to feed it once every two weeks with 1 portion of fertilizer dissolved in water for watering. Abundant fertilization can damage the roots and leaves.In the event of a crop crisis, water generously to literally rinse out the redundant food.
The crested-leaved creeper has a bushy to loosely spreading habit, reaches a height of 20 to 30 cm and does not require pruning.To speed up the setting of new buds, remove faded flowers on a regular basis.
Brachycome iberidifolia varieties with dark purple, pink and white flowers are unfortunately not suitable for wintering. After flowering (in autumn), they are thrown onto a compost heap.New plants are sown from March at 20 ° C.The light blue or purple Brachycome multifida varieties are long-lived, it is best to winter them in a bright, dry place at 15 ° C.
Fading leaves may indicate that plants are lacking iron.The deficiency of the element is supplemented with iron fertilizer.
