Small daisies, also known as horse head orchids or sunflowers, are suitable for growing on indoor window sills or bay windows. So, how to care for small daisies? Master three points, and your small daisies will bloom continuously!
1. Soil. We can use ordinary garden soil for cultivation, or mix leaf mold soil, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 1:1:1 to make nutrient-rich soil.
Small daisies do not have high requirements for soil, and ordinary garden soil is sufficient for growth. However, nutrient-rich soil is more suitable for the growth of small daisies. For potted plants, we can mix leaf mold soil, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 1:1:1 to make nutrient-rich soil. Small daisies grown in this type of soil will grow faster and have brighter flowers.
2. Sunlight. In spring, autumn, and winter, we should provide small daisies with plenty of sunlight, and in summer, we should provide shade to avoid yellowing leaves caused by strong sunlight.
Small daisies love sunlight, and except for needing some shade in summer, they can be exposed to full sunlight in other seasons.
This summer, a group of us drove to Inner Mongolia for a trip. We found many small daisies by the roadside. It was already the end of August, and the small daisies were blooming beautifully. From a distance, they were densely packed, creating a lively scene. This shows that small daisies can also thrive outdoors.
3. Watering. Water the plant only when the potting soil is completely dry, ensuring thorough watering and avoiding waterlogging; during the growing period, you can frequently spray water mist on the plant.
Small daisies prefer a humid environment but are afraid of waterlogging. If the roots are waterlogged, it can easily cause yellowing leaves or even plant death. Therefore, when growing small daisies, you should water the plant only when the potting soil is completely dry. To keep the potting soil moist, you can spray water on the small daisies to maintain humidity in the air and environment.
Summary: In addition to the soil, sunlight, and watering mentioned above, we should also pay attention to the temperature of the growing environment. Below 5 degrees Celsius, small daisies can be frostbitten, so in winter, we should move them indoors.
The above sharing on how to plant small daisies and the methods of cultivation and management are provided as reference suggestions for everyone.
