The editor introduces what to pay attention to when raising daisies and some small tricks for caring for daisies in the topic of flowers and plants. Let's learn about it together below.
Also known as horse head orchids or sunflowers, small daisies are suitable for cultivation on indoor window sills or bay windows. So, how to raise small daisies? Learn three points to keep your small daisy flowers blooming continuously!
1. Soil. We can use ordinary garden soil for cultivation, or we can mix decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 1:1:1 to create nutrient-rich soil.
Small daisies do not have high requirements for soil and can grow in ordinary garden soil. However, nutrient-rich soil is more suitable for the growth of small daisies. For potted plants, we can mix decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 1:1:1 to create nutrient-rich soil, which helps small daisies grow faster and bloom brighter.
2. Sunlight. In spring, autumn, and winter, we should provide small daisies with plenty of sunlight, and pay attention to shading in summer to avoid yellow leaves caused by strong sunlight.
Small daisies love sunlight and can be exposed to full sunlight in all seasons except summer when they need to be shaded appropriately.
This summer, a group of us drove to Inner Mongolia for a trip. We found many small daisies by the road. It was already the end of August at the time, and the small daisies were blooming beautifully. From a distance, they were densely packed and very lively. This shows that small daisies can also thrive outdoors.
3. Watering. Water the plant only when the potting soil is completely dry, make sure to water thoroughly, and avoid waterlogging; during the growing period, you can often 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 the plant to have yellow leaves or even die. Therefore, when cultivating small daisies, it is essential to water the plant only when the potting soil is completely dry. To keep the potting soil moist, we can spray water on the small daisies to maintain the humidity of the air and environment.
In summary: When raising small daisies, in addition to the soil, sunlight, and watering mentioned above, we also need to pay attention to the temperature of the cultivation environment. Below 5 degrees Celsius, small daisies can be frostbitten, so in winter, we need to move the small daisies indoors for cultivation.
The above is some experience and knowledge about what to pay attention to when raising daisies and some small tricks for caring for daisies. I hope this article can be of some help to you!
