Water: Daisies thrives in moist environments, preferring consistent hydration while tolerating short dry periods. Weekly watering is optimal to maintain soil moisture without waterlogging. It is best grown outdoors in temperate climates, benefiting from natural rainfall and seasonal moisture patterns.

Propagation: Propagation methods for daisies include seed sowing, cuttings, division, and tissue culture. For optimal success, maintain temperatures of 60-70°F (15-21°C), ensure well-draining soil, and consider indoor sowing 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Division is best done in spring or autumn.
