A Detailed Guide to Fertilizing Daisies: What Fertilizer Is Best

1. Fertilizing Time

The daisy is a plant that loves fertilizer very much. Therefore, it must be fertilized throughout its entire growing period, specifically during the three seasons from spring to autumn. In addition, when planting in pots, or when regularly repotting and changing the soil, mixing some fertilizer into the soil is also very necessary.

2. Types of Fertilizer

The main fertilizers used for top dressing during the growing period are liquid fertilizers, such as organic liquid fertilizer. During the flowering period, pay special attention to applying fertilizer containing the element phosphorus, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. For base fertilizer, bone meal can be used.

3. Fertilizing Methods

1. Before liquid fertilizer is used, it needs to be mixed with a large amount of water first to lower the concentration before use. Applying base fertilizer is relatively easy; after choosing suitable soil, simply add it directly into the soil.

2. Since the daisy's fertilizer requirement is relatively high, the number of fertilizer applications should also be greater, and a frequency of about once a week is best, though the amount of fertilizer each time should not be too much.

4. Precautions

1. Loosening the soil before fertilizing is relatively necessary; after the soil is loosened, applying fertilizer allows it to work better.

2. On cloudy and rainy days, fertilizing is not suitable, so during the rainy season extra attention is needed; choose a good time for fertilizing and avoid rainy days.
