How to care for your Olearia Haastii

  • Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate some shade but will not flower as much as in full sun. Ensure it is getting at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
  • Water: Requires moderate watering, and it should be watered deeply and infrequently. This means that the plant should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. If the soil is heavy clay, consider amending with organic matter like compost, to improve drainage.
  • Fertiliser: Does not require regular fertilisation, but a slow-release fertiliser can be applied in the Spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
  • Pruning: Can be pruned in late Winter or early Spring before new growth appears. Prune to remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches. You can also prune to control the size or shape of the shrub.
  • Pests and Diseases: Is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly draining soil.

By following these simple care guidelines, you can ensure that your Olearia Haastii stays healthy and beautiful for years to come.
