Water: Nippon daisy thrives in coastal climates, preferring evenly moist soil without waterlogging. Water weekly during the active growing season to ensure healthy flowering. Natural rainfall can reduce watering needs, adapting care to outdoor conditions for optimal plant health.

Fertilize: For ideal growth, nippon daisy requires monthly balanced fertilizer from early spring, adjusted to half-strength to prevent burn. Introduce high phosphorus fertilizer during flowering to improve bloom quality. Fertilization should be tailored to seasonal growth phases, ensuring even distribution and proper watering for optimal nutrient uptake.

Pruning: Nippon daisy features vibrant daisy-like flowers and bushy growth. Prune in early to late spring by removing dead stems and thinning overcrowded sections to boost airflow. This practice fosters reblooming, maintains vigor, and prevents disease. Use clean, sharp tools for effective cuts.

Propagation: Nippon daisy features daisy-like flowers and robust growth, propagating mainly through division. This involves separating the root ball into sections with roots and shoots. Perform this during active growth, ensuring soil moisture and a supportive environment for successful establishment.
