Like other plants, daisies require special conditions that help them grow strong and beautiful.

If something goes wrong, your flowers will look weak and sick, if they grow at all.

Here are some things that you need to grow beautiful flowers.

Sunlight

If they are not receiving enough sunlight, their growth may be stunted, and they may not produce abundant blooms. 

Soil quality

If the soil is heavy, compacted, or overly clayey, it can lead to poor drainage and root rot, causing stunted growth.

Amending the soil with organic matter such as compost can improve its drainage and nutrient content.

Watering 

Daisies prefer moist but not waterlogged soil. 

It's important to water them consistently, providing enough water to keep the soil evenly moist, but allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. 

Nutrient deficiencies

If the soil lacks essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium, the plants may exhibit slow growth, yellowing leaves, or reduced flowering. 

Competition and spacing

If they are overcrowded or planted too closely together, they may struggle to receive sufficient nutrients, sunlight, and air circulation. 

Pests and diseases

Daisies can be susceptible to certain pests and diseases, such as aphids, powdery mildew, or leaf spot. 

Climate and hardiness

Some daisies may struggle to grow well in certain regions due to extreme temperatures, humidity levels, or other climate-related factors.
