How to care for Marguerite
A small piece of knowledge to share with you how to care for Marguerite and detailed methods for the correct care and cultivation of this plant. Let's delve into it together.
I have seen someone praising the flowers by the road, saying "These chrysanthemums are so beautiful." Out of curiosity, I looked in the direction the person was pointing and found that they were not chrysanthemums, but Marguerite daisies.
It's not surprising that the person mistook the flowers, as Marguerite daisies are also known by two other names, "Marguerite菊花" and "Fernleaf daisy," showing their similarity to chrysanthemums.
Marguerite daisies are particularly beautiful flowers, symbolizing joy and anticipation. They come in many varieties, shapes, and colors, often used for gardening and yard decorations. A mass planting of Marguerite daisies is simply breathtaking!
However, some gardeners can grow Marguerite daisies that bloom profusely, while others can only get a few scattered blooms. Is it because of different varieties? The answer is no. Any variety of Marguerite daisies can bloom profusely if the right methods are used; otherwise, even the best varieties won't thrive!
Alright, today I have compiled some precautions for caring for Marguerite daisies. Let's take a look together!
1. Light
Marguerite daisies love sunlight and can bloom in spring, summer, and autumn. They should be placed in the garden or on the balcony, where they can get plenty of sunlight to grow better. However, in the summer, when temperatures are high and the sun is too strong, they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Move them indoors or set up a shade net to prevent sunburn.

2. Water
This plant has relatively high requirements for watering, mainly because it does not "express itself" like other plants.
If the watering is insufficient and the water does not penetrate deeply, it will only stay on the surface of the soil, making it difficult for the roots of Marguerite daisies to absorb. If watered too much, the soil may become waterlogged, leading to poor aeration and possibly rotting the roots.
However, whether it's too much or too little water, Marguerite daisies remain "silent" and only show a wilted appearance, making it difficult for gardeners to notice the severity of the problem. So, if you see it wilting, be sure to pay attention!
3. Fertilizer
For Marguerite daisies to grow well, they need ample nutrients, and both the growing period and blooming period require attention to fertilizer supplementation. When Marguerite daisies are young seedlings, they can benefit from more nitrogen to promote faster growth; when they start to bloom, more phosphorus can be added to help them produce more flowers.
However, be careful to dilute the fertilizer before applying it, and do not use too high a concentration or too much at once!
