Soil Type
Water: Thriving in arid environments, blackfoot daisy exhibits high drought tolerance and prefers well-drained soils, making it ideal for xeric landscaping. Water once weekly, and provide bright light indoors with occasional misting to enhance flowering during the growing season.
Fertilize: Blackfoot daisy thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers high in phosphorus to enhance flowering. Fertilize biannually in spring and fall with a handful per square meter. Avoid over-fertilization; increase frequency during active growth. Use slow-release formulas and water thoroughly post-application.
Pruning: Blackfoot daisy is a low-growing perennial with daisy-like blooms. Prune in early to late spring to remove dead branches and promote healthy growth. Regular pruning enhances air circulation, reduces disease risk, and encourages denser flowering, ensuring a vibrant appearance throughout the growing season.
Propagation: Blackfoot daisy is a resilient perennial ideal for dry climates, propagated through healthy stem cuttings. Snip below a leaf node and plant in well-draining soil, ensuring consistent moisture without overwatering. Rooting hormone can aid growth, leading to hardy, drought-tolerant plants.
Repotting: Repot blackfoot daisy every 2-3 years in spring for optimal growth. Use a well-draining container no larger than one size bigger to prevent moisture issues. After repotting, provide full sun and limit watering to help blackfoot daisy adjust to its new environment.
