How to keep Celmisia Sessiliflora.
Light
The white cushion mountain daisy is native to open habitats, for example sunny meadows and the edges of forests, which supply plenty of light. It does best in Full Sun but can endure Partial Sun as well, adjusting to a range of sunlight conditions.
Fertilizer
The timing of fertilizing the White cushion mountain daisy is important. Apply fertilizer in early spring and repeat monthly through early summer. Fertilizer encourages attractive blooms and provides energy during both dormant and active growth phases.
