Water: Mountain daisy, adapted to arid conditions, shows exceptional drought tolerance and requires weekly watering. Preferring well-draining soil, it thrives outdoors while preventing waterlogging, mimicking its native quick-drainage environment. This care approach preserves its resilience against varying weather patterns.

Fertilize: Fertilizing mountain daisy is essential for growth and blooms. Apply balanced fertilizers quarterly during growth, adjusting for seasons: reduce in winter and increase before summer. Prevent over-fertilization, and water soil before and after application. With proper care, mountain daisy will flourish with enhanced vigor and beautiful flowers.

Pruning: Mountain daisy is a hardy perennial with daisy-like flowers and thick leaves. Prune in early to late spring to enhance growth, remove damaged stems, and trim spent flowers. This practice improves air circulation, light penetration, and boosts the plant's health and longevity.

Propagation: Mountain daisy can be propagated through cuttings using healthy non-flowering shoots and rooting hormone. Plant in a well-draining medium while maintaining humidity to minimize water loss. Careful moisture management is essential for young mountain daisy to establish and thrive.
