How to grow daisies? These care tips you need to know
Daisies prefer a cool climate and dislike heat. They like light and tolerate partial shade, and are not demanding about the soil of the planting site. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 22-28°C, and the optimum temperature for growth is 20-25°C. The southwestern region is suitable for growing medium and small single or semi-double varieties. Medium and large double-flowered varieties grow weakly and set seed poorly.
1. After receiving them, please first tidy the bouquet, remove the lower leaves, and according to the height of the vase, cut the stems at a 45° angle at the upper part of the flower stem, then place them in water. It is best for the flower heads to be 10-15 cm above the vase;
2. The water level in the vase should be 1/3 of the vase, and change the water and trim the stems at least once every 2 days;
3. Do not easily place them near air vents or in windy spots. Air conditioning cannot keep flowers warm or cool, and wind can easily cause fresh flowers to dehydrate and wilt;
4. Avoid direct sunlight;
5. Of course, you can do even better: each time you change the water, use 84 disinfectant to clean the vase. This can thoroughly eliminate bacteria clinging to the walls of the vase, and bacteria can also cause fresh flowers to wilt quickly.
6. Daisies have a relatively long flowering period. With careful care, they can bloom beautifully for 3 weeks without a problem.
Precautions:
1. Do not place the flowers near air conditioning vents or in windy spots, as this can easily cause the flower heads of fresh flowers to dehydrate and wilt.
2. In spring and autumn, you can appropriately spray water on the flower heads morning and evening [the climate is dry, and the flower heads easily dehydrate].
3. Because household humidity varies, daisy leaves may dry at the edges to different degrees. You can remove the dried leaves; this does not affect the opening of the flowers or the flowering period.
PS: Daisies have many flower heads, and during transport a small number of flower heads may break off. This is normal loss; simply remove them yourself. It does not affect the normal growth and opening of the other flowers.
