I bought my first marguerite daisies today and watching this to make sure they grow well!

[@redsoilgardener]

The Marguerite Daisies are very sturdy and I am sure they will do well. Enjoy them and happy gardening.

🌷 Thank you very much for all your good information 😊 Mine are called: ‘Argyranthemum’ ‘Lollies Berry Gummy’ … I bought them last fall and they’ve wintered over very well! (I live in S. Calif- West of Palm Springs) It can get up to 115° in the summer. I did not know what I was buying; it was just an impulse purchase. (it’s dangerous for me to go into a nursery :-) but I just love them, they have just bloomed their little heads right off. (even without deadheading) They were blooming in the fall, and they have bloomed all winter. I’m finally getting them planted; I have already apologized to them ha ha. I love the propagation information, I will love their free progeny! Or actually, I guess we would call them clones? But again, thank you so much for your information… and my very best to you and yours. 😊 4/9/2024

Nice to hear somebody speaking such lovely English . I live in Portugal now but spent my formative years in Kenya , school at Kitale & Nairobi plus dreadful National Service & then forestry at Machakos & Kitui. Great show , I love agyranthemums , I believe a white one is indigenous to one of the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic , Madeira maybe? So far I‘ve just cut off any old bit, usually with mature wood, so many that I usually get at least one, indoors or outside in summer ( 6 months long drought here) watering often quite necessary . I shall definitely try your method . Thanks for your great explanation.

[@redsoilgardener]

Karibu, to get more blooms remember to deadhead the spent flowers and remove the seed buds. Check out my last video airing this week on deadheading and debudding. thanks for the encouragement.

[@dort5436]

Thank you for how to make cuttings. The detail is wonderful. Now I will go out and give it a try. My plants have overgrown their area. Now the cuttings can become new plants.

Thank you so much, last year I lost a argyranthemum lovely species due to an unexpected heavy frost, them we have a very long rainfall... my soil wasn't workable because is a clay soil so I clip away all the burnt leaves but this spring they don't came back. So this year I will use this knowledge you shared to propagate my new plants in order to have some that I can protect from the frost and rainfall overwinter them at home. Thank you so much again, because that is the best high detailed and clear video that I found of this plant.

Mam lovely information about Margarita plant. Mam what would you suggest about watering schedule for this beautiful plant + when we talk about well draining soil one soil mixture that hit my mind is enrich succulents soil will it work for this plant, my succulents soil mainly consist of some manure, rice hull, garden soil, perlite, sand, charcol VERMICOMPST, some Neem cake powder. And the climate is mainly humid in my area with 60-70 % Humidity.

Wow thanks for sharing will definitely try it. Do you make the neem cake powder? interesting and thank you for following our channel.

I recently bought a pink Argyranthemum frutescens with a stem from a gardening store, it was magnificent. However, the last couple of days the pink started to fade, flowers wilted (not all of them, but every day I find new ones that have spent) and also some bulbs have turned brown (it looks to me as if they also have wilted). I have been deadheading religiously since I noticed this issue. We had some good amount of rain in the Netherlands last week and we now have warm, sunny weather. I did notice that one day the soil was quite dry so I watered the plant very well (not overwatered). That, however, did not change anything. So yesterday I potted it on into a bigger (well drained) container as I thought the issue might have been the original pot I got it from, which was a bit smaller. What do you think the reason(s) could be? I heard you mention in your video that the plant prefers full sun. I have mine on my balcony and gets the afternoon sun, directly. Could that be the issue? I really need some help 😢

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Alessia, sorry for all that. I think your plant is going through a transplant shock. What happens is that plants in a garden center are in a controlled environment. And when you bring them home, the change of environment can give it a shock. The plant then goes into survival mode and send water and nutrients to the root and not to the flowers etc. Also you must realises your balcony could have a suntrap effect. IN that it captures more heat and therefore the plant loses a lot of moisture through transpiration. Then it goes into shock. I usually recommend when buying a plant keep it in indirect light until it stablises and gradually introduce it to your garden or balcony. So what you do is first move the plant into an area where it gets indirect light. Don't let it dry out. then hydrate, hydrate and hydrate...moist and not soggy Remove flowers so that the plant does not spend it energy making flowers and seeds. Once the wilting stops then you can slowly introduce it gradually back into your balcony. Good luck try this and you get further issues contact me.

[@nouranzakaria2253]

Hello i live in cairo, egypt where its very sunny during summer and very cold during winter I wanted to plant marguerite daisies outside in my garden to create a border. Im worried though will it last outside? Is the whole plant going to die during in winter or will only the flowers die and the rest will stay green? Will it be suitable to grow and keep during seasons?

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Nouran, sorry took so long to answer. From my research it appears that winter in Cairo averages about 11degrees celsius. In addition, during winter in Cairo, you experience no snow or frost which could damage the daisies. The marguerite daisies can tolerate temperatures as long as it is above 5 degrees Celsius at night time. During the cold spell the plant will not flower but will maintain some foliage. As it gets warmer it will pick up. As you will soon enter into summer,I would suggest do plant them along your borders.And as you go into winter you can start getting your cuttings and start propagating. Also what you could do as the temperatures cool down, you could remove the daisies from the garden and pot them. Then keep them in a garage or any sheltered place. Then once it gets warmer replant in the garden. Please do give me an update as you go along. I hope this information is helpful. Good luck.

[@nouranzakaria2253]

@@redsoilgardener thank you so much for the reply i totally appreciate it. I did plant them and let me tell you they’re fully blooming until now and also grew longer and more flowers started to bloom. It attracted some bees also but all looks so beautiful and calming with the green grass outside. Im so happy with them. Any advice on watering the plants? According to my research they don’t get watered everyday but day after day. But im not sure in summer do we water them everyday though ?

[@troyokum9086]

Thanks your video! I am wondering how long after propagation can you expect bloom and if there is anything to help encourage it? Also, I live a very humid and high rainfall environment (zone 9a/North Florida) during summers. I am wondering if its better to keep the young plant inside by a window and grow light until fall, or if well-drained soil in a holed pot outside is sufficient?

[@redsoilgardener]

From propagation, to get rooting takes about 3-4 weeks, then you move into a larger pots with well drained soil. As the plant continues to grow keep changing pots. As the plant grows keep it in semi shade as the leaves as still young. Maybe in your verandah in a shaded spot. I sometimes place mine in the kitchen provided it is warm, as propagation works better in a warm environment. I wouldn't suggest on a window sill as the sun will scorch the leaves. Once it gets to about 2 -3 feet tall and the stem and leaves are stronger you can put it in a sunny spot though they will also do well in partial sun. Once you start getting your blooms cut of spent flowers, seed pods and pinch the tips and this should increase your blooms.

[@troyokum9086]

@@redsoilgardener Thank you so much! Very helpful.

[@nmed6024]

I just bought some for the first time, the tag says "daisy crazy Argyranthemum" and they are really pretty and mixed colors. I'm thinking of putting them in pots mixed with other flowers, they will get full sun in the afternoon. I hope they do well! But I am a little worried they may not bloom well in the heat of the afternoon sun in zone 7b

[@redsoilgardener]

Although they are sun lovers, I try to give mine morning and mid day sun and semi shade in the afternoon. I also believe in moving plants around if they are not happy. Once you find the right spot they will bloom. Also remember to deadhead the flowers to encourage blooms. Tomorrow I have an episode on deadheading, pinching and de-budding if you have time have a look at the episode

[@robinfitzgerald7093]

I’ve had good success using play sand from a store. It’s pre-washed and appears to be germ-free.

[@redsoilgardener]

Yes great idea, i also use river sand for drainage. Thanks for sharing.

[@catherinelewis988]

Did u put the new cutings in the greenhouse?

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Catherine, you can put in a greenhouse or in a warm area in your kitchen. Another method is get a clear plastic bag make holes at the top ( this is to allow the bag to breathe). Cover the potted plant and hold it together at the base with a rubber bag. Every few days open the bag and allow the steam to be released, which is formed from transpiration from the plant. It gives a sort of green house effect. Have a look at my soil propagation episode.

[@panoreapan470]

if I dont use rooting hormone do I have a chance ?

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi, I don't use rooting hormone somehow it just been a habit. I would suggest do get rooting hormone and try some with and some without and see how you feel. Propagation will work one you have the right environment. Moist soil not soggy, warmth and light but not direct sun. Please let me give me an update of which method you prefer. And good luck with your propagation.

[@aeavs7201]

What time of the year is this done?

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi the best time to carry out propagation in the Northern Hemisphere is usually during the growing season, late spring to early summer. Happy gardening!

Why do my leaves keep turning yellow …I have tried both keeping the soil moist and also letting them dry out on the top of the soil before I water ..but no matter what the leaves still turn yellow …they have lots of flowers ..I have even tried cutting all the flowers off to encourage leaves but they still turn yellow …I have it growing in a pot and as a standard plant …plus it’s in the sun in the morning and shade by the afternoon ..I live in the UK

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Debbie, sorry for the late response. It appears you are doing the right thing. As yellowing of leaves could be caused by over or under watering your plant. And it appears you have it under control. Another cause of yellowing could be pests such as mealy bug or spider mites. Check your leaves.. the underside as pests often start at the back. These pest feed off the plants sap from their leaves and eventually leaves turn yellow and drop off. The other problem could be a nutrient deficiency. What i recommend is to take a sample of the leaf on a stem to your local nursery and get advice.

[@redsoilgardener]

its better to do a soil propagation. Have good drained soil and it should take off in 3-4 weeks

[@bendangrenlaimsong9358]

When is the best season for propogation?

[@redsoilgardener]

Thanks for your inquiry. Firstly it depends on your location. If you are in the tropics, like Kenya we can more or less propagation all year around. Propagation requires warmth and humidity to kick start rooting. However in colder climate you cold make a propagation box. I will try to include propagation box in my schedule.

[@randomhuman2612]

Do they survive in winter?

[@redsoilgardener]

Not outside, as they can not tolerate temperatures that fall below 41 degrees Fahrenheit/ 5 degrees celsius. If you want them to survive the winter dig them up and place them in the greenhouse. It would be best to talk to your local nursery

I deadhead and they don’t grow back 😢

[@redsoilgardener]

You deadheaded the flowers and they did not produce more flowers? Remember to get blooms your daisies have to be in full sun. You will get less blooms if the plant is in shade. The other reason could be the plant is juvenile and not mature. How big is the plant? What you could also do is start pinching the ends. This will encourage the plant to get more branches, with the result you will get more blooms from the branches. Pls get back to me if the above does not work.

[@BigGfromgrouphome]

@@redsoilgardener Thank you. I pinched yesterday. I’ll see if it helps
