CARE GUIDE

How to keep Leucanthemum Monspeliense.

Water

To ensure Leucanthemum monspeliense thrives, it's important to water this plant carefully. In the garden, allow the soil surface to dry out before watering. During spring, water the plant every 7 to 12 days, providing about 25 ml each time. In summer, increase the frequency to once a week, using 30 ml of water. For potted Leucanthemum monspeliense, check the soil moisture and water every three days when it feels dry. Be careful to avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can promote disease. It's best to water either early in the morning or late in the evening.

Pruning

Leucanthemum monspeliense is known for its beautiful, daisy-like flowers. To encourage growth and maintain plant health, it's best to prune in early spring. During pruning, aim to thin the plant to improve air circulation and sunlight exposure. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts. Regular pruning not only enhances flowering but also reduces the risk of disease.
