Daisy cultivation and blooming methods
Watering: Potted daisies are not tolerant to waterlogging. Spring is the peak growing season, so it's necessary to keep the soil moist, watering every 3-5 days. In summer, water at least once a day, or twice a day, morning and evening. In autumn, as it cools down, water every 5 days or so. In late autumn, extend the watering interval. In winter, growth is slower, so watering every 15 days is sufficient.
Fertilization: Daisies need to be fertilized throughout their growth period. When planting and repotting, it's best to add some base fertilizer, such as bone meal. During the growing period, liquid fertilizer can be applied, and during the blooming period, fertilizer containing phosphorus can be used.
Sunlight: Daisies prefer a sunny growing environment, so it's important to provide enough sunlight during the maintenance period, especially during the growing and blooming seasons. The light should not be too weak or the duration too short, but it's necessary to provide shade during the strong sunlight of summer.
