It is about 10 cm tall, with leaves growing at the base and blunt at the tip. The flowers are in head-shaped inflorescences with a diameter of 2.5-3.5 cm. The outer circle is ligulate flowers with richer colors, and the center is tubular flowers, mostly yellow. 2. Growth habits: Daisy is native to Europe and is the national flower of Italy. It likes a cool climate, is relatively afraid of heat, likes light but can tolerate partial shade, and is not very demanding on soil. Seeds can only germinate when the temperature is between 22-28℃, and seedlings can grow best in an environment of 20-25℃. Small-flowered and semi-double-petaled varieties are suitable for planting in southwest my country, while large-flowered and double-petaled varieties do not grow well. 3. Maintenance method: Daisies should generally be placed in a sunny place for maintenance, receive sufficient light every day, provide appropriate shade in summer, and spray water to cool down. During the germination period, the water requirement is high and the soil needs to be kept moist. After it grows up, it is necessary to control the water appropriately and wait until the soil is dry before watering it thoroughly. During the growing season, top dressing can be applied once a week, usually with compound fertilizer. 4. Reproduction techniques: There are many ways to reproduce daisies. Large-scale planting usually uses grafting and sowing methods, while home planting uses division and cuttings for propagation. Sowing is generally carried out in spring and autumn. Mix the seeds and fine sand and sprinkle them on the soil surface. Cover with a layer of fine soil and pay attention to sunshade and moisture retention. Cuttings are carried out from April to June. Cut 10 cm long branches, remove the leaves at the base, and insert them into the soil, paying attention to shade and moisture retention. Second, is it for the dead?Daisies are not given exclusively to the dead. This impression is mainly formed because it is very common in occasions such as funerals, so it can be misunderstood. This flower is beautiful but not gaudy, making it suitable for expressing grief without appearing disrespectful. But its flower language is actually very rich in meaning, representing love, happiness, hope and many other meanings. It can be given to lovers or friends. |
