Water: Mediterranean beach daisy thrives in coastal regions, preferring well-draining sandy soils and moderate drought conditions. Watering should be done every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out. Indoors, it prefers bright light, and watering schedules must be carefully managed due to varying moisture levels.
