How to Care Daisybushes

Thriving in its native habitat of sunny, arid regions, daisybushes has adapted to conserve water, requiring minimal irrigation. This species exhibits drought tolerance and prefers a dry environment over high humidity. Watering should occur once every week to maintain optimal health. Given its preference for drier conditions, daisybushes is often cultivated outdoors where it can benefit from natural rainfall patterns and the occasional deep watering during extended dry periods. It is an evergreen plant that retains its foliage year-round, making it a consistent contributor to garden aesthetics even when not in bloom.

Daisybushes thrive in full sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sun per day, ensuring light of high quality and intensity. Avoid overly dim conditions to prevent leggy growth and fewer blooms. In intense summer regions, provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. Gradually acclimate daisybushes when transitioning them to brighter outdoor conditions to avoid shock.

Propagating daisybushes can be done via cuttings or seeds. For cuttings, use non-flowering stems during active growing seasons, keeping humidity high and the temperature around 68°F (20°C). Seeds germinate well with light exposure on well-drained soil. Difficulty ranges from easy to moderate; cuttings require careful handling. Steps for cuttings: 1) Select healthy, non-flowering stems. 2) Cut a 2-4 inch section below a leaf node. 3) Remove lower leaves. 4) Dip in rooting hormone. 5) Plant in a well-draining soil mix. 6) Cover with a plastic bag to retain humidity. 7) Place in indirect light. 8) Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Seed propagation follows standard sowing techniques.
