CARE GUIDE

How to keep Aster Bellidiastrum.

Light

Mountain daisy comes from bright, open habitats and grows best in full sun. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is noted for its sun-loving habit.

Temperature

Mountain daisy can adjust to a broad span of temperatures, but its range may still be constrained by particular mixes of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended stretches of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high heat raise the risk of Mountain daisy dying. During winter, shielding it from cold improves its chances of survival.

Fertilizer

Mountain daisy does well with regular, light applications of fertilizer to support healthy leaf development. You should fertilize Mountain daisy about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for the foliage, and supplying nitrogen-rich sources helps Mountain daisy thrive.
