Farfugium (commonly called leopard plant) is an attractive perennial known for its bold, glossy leaves and bright yellow daisy-like flowers. Here’s how to keep it healthy and thriving:

✅ Ideal Conditions for Farfugium

• Light: Prefers partial to full shade. Avoid strong afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Soil: Needs moist, rich, well-draining soil. Add compost to improve soil quality.

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water more during hot, dry spells.

• Temperature: Protect from frost or grow in containers/Indoors in colder areas.

• Humidity: Likes humid environments; mist the leaves occasionally if indoors or in dry climates.

🪴 Care Tips.

• Fertiliser: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring; too much nitrogen can lead to leggy growth.

• Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves regularly. Cut back old flower stalks after blooming.

• Pests/Diseases: Watch for slugs, snails, and aphids.
