What are the cultivation methods and precautions for daisies?

Daisy cultivation method

Daisy is a plant of the Asteraceae family. It can be propagated by many methods, such as division, cutting, grafting, and sowing. Daisy likes light and is not strict about the soil in the cultivation area, but the soil must have a certain degree of fertility. The suitable temperature for growth is 20-25℃, and the temperature during flowering should be maintained at around 10-25℃.

When growing daisies, you can mix leaf mold, garden soil and peat soil to make the cultivation soil, and provide it with a growth environment of about 18-22℃. If the temperature is below 10℃, it will grow very slowly. During the growth and flowering periods, it needs appropriate light, maintain a moist environment, and give water in time. The roots of the plant must not be soaked in water.

Watering method

Daisies are suitable for growing in moist soil. Wait until the water in the pot dries up before watering them, but don't let their roots be soaked in water for a long time, as this will easily cause root rot.

Fertilization method

During the growth period of daisies, top dressing can be applied once every week. You can choose special fertilizer for daisies, or you can choose some compound fertilizer. The fertilizer needs to be diluted before use to avoid burning the roots of the plant.

Pruning methods

After daisies bloom, they should be pruned in a timely manner, mainly to remove the remaining flowers. This will not only reduce the loss of nutrients in the potting soil, but also help the growth of inflorescences. Note that the degree of pruning should not be too large, so as not to affect its normal flowering afterwards.

Daisy cultivation precautions

When growing daisies, you need to pay attention to the fact that the precipitation in the rainy season is relatively large, so the plants must be drained in time after the rain, because after the plants have been rained on, rainwater may accumulate in the pots, causing the roots of the plants to rot.
