October 15, 2018A.It is quite possible that they are over-crowded in their container. Have you tried splitting them up yet? If they are rootbound, then they may not be getting the proper watering.

February 17, 2019A.This would usually indicate a nitrogen deficiency. The thing is... It is rare to see a deficiency in these plants unless they are in rocky or sandy soil. It could also be that the pH of the soil is too high. Iron sulfate will bring this down a bit. This will help the nitrogen become available to the plant again.

17086Q.What pests would eat gazanias?
I have several Gazanias planted in a newer flowerbed with well-drained soil. One Gazania has half its petals eaten away and I was wondering what pest it could be and how to combat it in an organic, possibly homemade, way. Thank you in advance.

Pleasanton, CA. Zone 9Q.Dying Gazanias
Landscapers planted them twice. Dying -- started out 3 now up to 8, and looks like more every day. It’s been very hot here and they’ve been on a drip system daily. I checked the soil and they seem to be getting enough water. I don’t know what else to do. Suggestions?

Certified ExpertA.Perhaps the soil is remaining moist constantly without a dry out. This will cause a fungal infection as you are describing. Ideally they will only need water once the first 2 or 3 inches are completely dry.
A fungicide may help here but you may need to plant in a different area while the soil is being treated.

May 20, 2020Q.help identifying a specific gazania
Looking to specifically identify the pictured gazania which we have as ground cover. Looking to obtain another flat somewhere in order to fill in spots damaged by frost. Note the bluish green leaves ( don't want a species with dark green leaves). Any and all help is most appreciated.

Menifee, CAQ.Why Are Year Old Gazinias Suddenly Dying?
These gazinias have thrived in this location for about four years. Suddenly, one began to dry up and die. I inspected it for insects since the plants around it seem to be fine. I didn’t find any. Now, as you can see in the pictures, the gazinia next to it is beginning to do the same. Is this possibly an underground insect or a fungus that I can’t see? Thank you for your help. I don’t want to loose all of the plants.

Certified ExpertA.These are very drought tolerant, and susceptible to root rots. A fungicide and less water may be in order.

KarachiQ.Gazania Dying After Leaves Turn White.
I got them a week ago and had been watering them daily for 3 Days till I found out it's for every three days. Now the leaves are turning ash white and the plant is drooping. It's very hot where I live. Currently it's 90°F This is my first time taking care of a plant and I really don't know that much about gardening.

Certified ExpertA.It is likely that they have been overwatered. This will cause root suffocation and disease.
From this point, it will be best to start with fresh plants, and make sure to use potting soil instead of native clay. Clay will not allow to gas exchange in container, and will suffocate plant roots in a pot.
