Daisy's growing environment and growing conditions

Daisy Growth Environment and Conditions

Daisies were originally distributed from Europe to West Asia and are cultivated in both the north and south of China. They prefer cool, humid conditions and plenty of sunlight and are relatively cold-resistant. They can overwinter in the open field as long as the soil temperature is not lower than 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. However, some varieties have poor cold resistance and are not very demanding on the soil. They should be planted in loose, fertile soil and are not tolerant of water and humidity.

Daisy Growing Conditions

Daisies like coolness, are not resistant to high temperatures, and prefer sunny environments, but are not resistant to direct sunlight. They are suitable for growing in semi-shade areas and are not strict with the soil in the cultivation area. The suitable growth temperature is 20-25 degrees, and the suitable germination temperature for seeds is 22-28 degrees. Medium and small flower single or semi-double varieties are suitable for planting in the southwest region.

Daisy Growth Temperature

The best growth temperature for daisies is between 18-22 degrees. They prefer cool climates and easily die in high temperature environments. They can bloom normally in an environment of 10-25 degrees. When the temperature is below 10 degrees, the growth is relatively slow and flowering will be delayed. If the temperature is above 25 degrees, the flower stems will elongate, grow poorly, and it will be difficult to bloom.

Daisy growth process

Daisies grow very fast. The seeds will germinate in about 7 days after sowing. At this time, the plants have a high demand for fertilizer, so you can apply some dilute liquid fertilizer. Later, when the daisies receive sufficient nutrients, they will grow true leaves. After that, it is best to fertilize the plants once every 30 days, and the daisies will bloom in spring.

Daisy Planting Time and Method

The best time to sow daisies is from mid-August to early September, when the temperature is about 18-20℃. Soak the seeds in warm water for one night before sowing to allow them to fully absorb water and promote germination.

Then sprinkle the daisy seeds evenly in the moist potting soil, cover them with a thin layer of soil about 3 mm thick. After sowing, they should be placed in a sunny area, and pay attention to maintaining soil moisture. They will germinate in about a week.
