how to grow Daisy plant

1. SHOULD WE SOAK THE SEEDS OVERNIGHT FOR BETTER GERMINATION?

Soaked seeds can give the better result. Soaked seeds will germinate quickly

2. SHOULD WE USE THE SEEDLING TRAY OR DIRECT SOW IS RECOMMENDED?

We can maintain the seeds in the tray at the beginning. But when the plant reaches 2 to 3 inches in length it requires some more space to grow. Sowing directly into the pot is the best way to cultivate.

3. WHAT IS THE BEST SEASON?

Summer season is the best season to grow Daisy. The germination process will be good in this season.

4. WILL IT GERMINATE IN ALL SEASONS?

You can grow Daisy in all the season. But it will grow well in Summer.

5. HOW MANY DAYS WILL IT TAKE TO GERMINATE?

Daisy seeds will take 10 to 20 days to germinate from seeding. During the germination period, soil should be moist, so keep watering it frequently.

6. CAN WE KEEP IT INDOOR AFTER SOWING OR WE SHOULD KEEP IT OUTDOOR?

Daisy requires good sunlight, so better to grow in outdoor. If you like to grow indoor place it where it can get good sunlight.

Daisy needs a minimum of 20 degrees C to 25 degrees C. At this temperature, we can expect the better result.

2. WHAT POTTING MIX TO USE?

1. WILL THE COCO PEAT BASED POTTING MIX BE SUFFICIENT OR DOES IT NEED SOIL ONLY?

Plants need fertilizer and compost mandatorily. For that no need to invest separately. If you are buying our potting mix it is enough. Our potting mix has fertilizer and compost content in it. So it increases the germinating capacity.

3. HOW TO WATER?

1. DOES IT NEED A LOT OF WATER OR VERY LESS WATER?

Daily watering in summer, two days once in the winter season and 3 days once in a rainy season.( if rainwater does not flow to the plant).

2. WILL IT SUSTAIN HIGH SUNLIGHT?
