A note from PlantMom

Leucanthemum catalaunicum possède une bonne résistance aux maladies et n'est généralement pas sujet aux infections. Cependant, il peut être sensible aux ravageurs et aux maladies présents dans son environnement. Ces atteintes sont habituellement peu sévères. Au niveau de l'entretien, cette plante nécessite des soins de niveau moyen. Elle doit être taillée régulièrement pour conserver une belle apparence et assurer une croissance saine. L'apport d'engrais peut aussi aider à favoriser la floraison.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Leucanthemum Catalaunicum.

Light

Leucanthemum catalaunicum is a perennial herbaceous plant that prefers sunny locations and originates from open habitats, commonly found in meadows and grasslands. It favors full sun but can also tolerate partial sunlight.

Water

For Leucanthemum catalaunicum, allow the soil to dry out before watering. In the spring, water the plant every 7 to 12 days with 25 ml of water. During the summer, increase the frequency to once a week, using 30 ml of water. If your Leucanthemum catalaunicum is in a pot, water it every three days. To reduce the risk of disease, water the plants early in the morning or late in the afternoon to prevent the leaves from staying wet for too long.

Temperature

Leucanthemum catalaunicum can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by certain combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can increase the chance of Leucanthemum catalaunicum dying. In winter, shielding the plant from cold can boost its survival rate.

Fertilizer

One fertilizer application in spring is generally enough for Leucanthemum catalaunicum, though multiple feedings can optimize growth. Apply fertilizer about once every one to one and a half months. Fertilizing improves the leaves' appearance and function, helping maintain even color and a healthy texture. It also promotes root development and enhances nutrient uptake for the plant's long-term health.

Pruning

Leucanthemum catalaunicum is a perennial plant known for its striking white flowers and robust growth. To encourage new growth and better air circulation, pruning should be done in early spring. During this time, you should remove spent blooms and damaged leaves. It's important to use clean tools to maintain the plant's health and shape.
