🌱 Growing Tips for South African Conditions

Soil & Site

• Choose full sun ☀️ (6–8 hours daily) for best blooms.

• Prefers well-drained soil, enriched with compost or aged manure.

• Avoid soggy conditions — statice dislikes wet feet.

• Ideal pH: 6.5 to 7.5.

Sowing & Timing ☀️

• Start seeds in late winter to early spring (August–September) indoors or under cover.

• Sow on the surface — seeds need light to germinate.

• Keep warm (18–24 °C) and evenly moist until germination, which takes 7–14 days.

• In frost-free regions like coastal KwaZulu-Natal or Lowveld, sow directly outdoors in early spring.

Transplanting & Spacing 🌱

• Transplant seedlings once the danger of frost has passed.

• Space plants 25–30 cm apart for good air flow and strong stems.

• Pinch out early growth tips to encourage branching and more flower stems.

Watering & Care 💧

• Water moderately and let the soil dry slightly between waterings.

• Once established, statice is highly drought-resistant — ideal for dry regions like Gauteng and the Karoo.

• Avoid overhead watering to reduce fungal risk.

• Feed lightly every few weeks with a balanced organic fertiliser for continuous blooms.

Harvesting & Drying

• Pick stems when most florets have opened.

• Hang bunches upside down in a dry, dark, airy space to preserve their colour and shape.

• Dried blooms retain their crisp white hue for many months — perfect for winter décor.

Common Pitfalls

• Overwatering or poor drainage leads to root rot.

• Overcrowding reduces air flow and can cause mildew.

• For continuous flowers, succession sow every 3–4 weeks.
