1️⃣ How to Grow Painted Daisy
-
Seed Selection & Timing: Choose healthy seeds. Sow 6–8 weeks before the last frost indoors, or directly outdoors after the frost risk has passed.
-
Sowing: Use light, well-draining soil. Sprinkle the tiny seeds on the surface and cover lightly. If sowing in trays, cover with a thin plastic film to retain moisture.
-
Germination: Keep soil moist and in bright, indirect light at around 21–24°C (70–75°F). Seeds usually germinate in 7–14 days.
-
Transplanting: When seedlings have 2–3 true leaves and outdoor temperatures are safe, harden off for 5–7 days, then transplant 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) apart.
-
Sunlight & Soil: Plant in full sun (6–8 hours/day) with well-draining, moderately fertile soil.
