How to grow daisies in pots

step

Stage 1: Plug seedling cultivation

Germination begins when the bacon penetrates its seed coat, and the first stage is from the young roots entering the soil to the growth of cotyledons. The temperature should be maintained at 18°C. Keep the cultivation medium moist. Seeds like sunlight and warmth, so there is no need to cover them with soil, but avoid direct sunlight and remember not to let the medium dry out. During this stage, the pH value is maintained between 5.5 and 6.2 and the relative humidity is 100%. After planting seeds in pots, provide adequate shade.

Stage 2: Cotyledon emergence and growth

The second stage begins when the cotyledons gradually grow into true leaves. Still keep the room temperature at 18℃. The humidity of the medium should be maintained between 70% and 80%. Of course, it should not be too dry. The growth of cotyledons requires the roots to penetrate into the medium and absorb nutrients. The first two phases take 2-3 weeks in total.

Stage 3: True leaf growth and development

The third stage is from the growth of true leaves to 80% of the seedlings. The room temperature can be appropriately lowered to around 15℃. As the temperature drops, the humidity should also drop accordingly. The interval between two waterings can be longer, and water again when the soil is completely dry, thus forming a dry-wet cycle, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the roots.

Stage 4: Tempering the Seedlings

At this stage, the root system is well formed and the seedlings become hardy through hardening, which lasts for about a week. Temperature, humidity and fertilization are basically the same as in the previous stage. It needs to be transplanted into pots in time. The last two stages will take about 1-2 weeks to complete.

Precautions

1. A cool potting environment can make the plant become compact.

2 The high humidity in potted plants in winter causes the leaves to become wet, which in turn causes gray mold. The humidity of the potted plants should be maintained appropriately.

3. Daisies grow in clusters at the base of their leaves, so they need to be kept ventilated to prevent base rot.
