The guide to caring for Diatas – a plant with white flowers and easy to maintain

Dietes is an evergreen plant that brings a natural and elegant look to any garden. Its long leaves create a grass-like appearance, and in spring and summer it is filled with delicate white blooms with small yellow and purple spots. It is a water-efficient plant, especially suitable for warm, bright areas, but also does well in partial shade.

☀️🌱 Light and irrigation

  • Recommended location: Full sun for impressive visibility, but will also thrive in partial shade.

  • Irrigation:

    • In the first year – regular watering 2–3 times a week.

    • After the plant is established – only water once every week or two.

    • In winter – in most cases, watering is not necessary.

✂️ Pruning and fertilizing

  • Pruning: Remove wilted flowers and dry leaves every few months.

  • Fertilization: It is recommended to use compost or general fertilizer in spring and summer.

  • Maintenance: Very simple – the diet is durable and requires almost no spraying.

🏡 Where should you plant?

  • As a border plant alongside paths and fences

  • In large ornamental beds to combine with shrubs or foliage plants

  • In large pots on sunny balconies

  • In institutional and public gardens that require minimal maintenance
