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.

2️⃣ How to Care for Painted Daisy

• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist, avoid waterlogging.

• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks to support growth and flowering.

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms.

• Support & Spacing: Tall varieties may need staking, and adequate spacing ensures good air circulation.

• Pests & Diseases: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and fungal diseases; avoid wetting foliage to reduce risk.

• Harvesting Seeds: Collect seeds from dry flowers and store in a cool, dry place for next season.
