Margaret likes loose and fertile soil with good drainage. Soil: 5 Heishan soil, 5 peat soil. If you don't have a friend of Heishan soil, you can use garden soil instead.
Marguerite didn't seem to grow seeds. She mainly relied on cutting.
Generally, the cutting is done with the seedling box with cover, and the cutting soil is peat soil plus vermiculite, or peat soil plus perlite. The best cutting season is spring and autumn, and the other two seasons are easy to survive. The cuttings have been put on the terrace all the time. Except in summer, the other three seasons of cuttings are covered with the seedling box cover, which can keep water and heat preservation and improve the survival rate of cuttings. In summer, the cuttage is directly in the flowerpot, because the nursery pot is too small, and the water is easy to evaporate.
Generally, sufficient basal fertilizer should be applied during basin changing and planting, and no fertilizer should be applied in other periods. The base fertilizer is chicken manure and a small amount of slow-release fertilizer. Because the chicken manure has been retting, it doesn't matter a little more. The amount of slow-release fertilizer must be controlled according to the basin size, and the most important point is that the root can't contact with the fertilizer. In the flowering period, I occasionally make some fertilizer, which is "must blossom".
Marguerite kept it on the terrace all the time, and it didn't spend much time in the sun in summer. In winter, the pots that need to be maintained will be kept out of the rain.
In general, Marguerite is not pruned, only the extra long branches are cut short in the seedling stage.
After the first year of cuttage, Ma will not grow into a very tight ball. After the hot summer and cold winter, Ma will grow into a very tight ball easily. You should note that after summer and winter, many leaves may dry up. As long as the center of the branch is green, don't discard it. Generally, maintain and water it. In March and April of the next year, sort out the dead leaves and apply fertilizer in another basin. Ma will soon grow very close shoots, and the volume will be more than 3 or 4 times of the original.
Sunshine is also very important. Sunshine and rain are the best nourishment for plants.
