How to Plant Daisy Seeds? A Complete Guide to the Planting Method

To plant daisy seeds, you should first soak the seeds in water so they absorb moisture. Then prepare the soil and a seedling tray, and arrange for sowing; August to September is the best time to sow. After sowing, keep the soil moist; watering and fertilizing depend on how the plants are growing, and once true leaves appear you can arrange for transplanting.

The method for planting daisy seeds is as follows

1. Seed treatment

Before sowing, daisy seeds can be soaked in water first, so that the seeds absorb moisture and germination is promoted.

2. Soil and seedling tray

For planting daisy seeds, it is best to first grow the seedlings in a seedling tray and then transplant them. Because this soil is used for raising seedlings, ordinary soil will do.

3. Sowing

August to September is the best time to sow. Before sowing, water the soil until moist, and then sow.

4. Requirements after sowing

After sowing, maintain a temperature of 18-20°C and do not place them in an environment with strong sunlight; they generally germinate 5-8 days after sowing.

4. Watering

During the period when the seedlings have just emerged, continue to keep the potting soil moist, but avoid waterlogging; then, as the seedlings grow, gradually reduce watering so the seedlings adapt to the environment and are prepared for planting out. After transplanting, simply follow the rule of not watering when dry and watering thoroughly when you do.

2. Fertilizing

Daisies that have just sprouted can be given a tiny bit of fertilizer to promote root growth and leaf growth, but do not apply fertilizer that is too strong or apply too much, since newly sprouted daisy seedlings are still very fragile.

3. Light

After the daisies have emerged and grown leaves, you can give them some appropriate sun exposure, generally at 6-9 in the morning and 4-5 in the afternoon, because the sunlight during these periods is not so strong and will not scorch the leaves.

4. Transplanting

Daisies can be sown directly into a pot or the backyard, but daisies sown this way are not easy to manage and can easily die partway through, so it is still recommended that gardeners first sow daisies in a seedling tray, and transplant them once the seedlings are strong enough.
