How to care for cineraria Silver Dust:
When planting in beds and borders, mix some well-rotted organic matter with the excavated soil and firm around the plant. Choose a loam-based compost if growing in pots or containers.
Water regularly but allow the soil to dry waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilise lightly in the growing season. Prune throughout the season with a balanced liquid feed.
