G-24 Grow Bag – 24 × 12 inch 🔗
Excellent for growing:
Several Tricolor Daisy plants together
while maintaining correct spacing.
Tricolor Daisy is additionally suitable for:
Use a:
Loose, moderately fertile and well-draining growing medium.
A practical GREEN GARDENS mix can include:
60% Bhalu Mitti / Sandy Soil + 30% GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost 🔗 + 10% Cocopeat
The growing medium should provide:
Tricolor Daisy can perform well in ordinary garden soil provided:
Drainage is good.
Avoid:
Fill a seedling tray, nursery pot or final container with:
Fine, loose and well-draining growing medium.
Moisten the medium gently before sowing.
Seeds can be:
Tricolor Daisy seeds should be sown:
Very shallowly.
Place seeds on the surface and cover with approximately:
2–5 mm of fine growing medium
or only a very light covering.
Do not bury deeply.
After sowing, use:
A fine mist or gentle shower.
Avoid strong irrigation because small seeds may:
Maintain:
Consistent light moisture
until germination.
Under suitable conditions, seeds generally germinate within approximately:
7–14 days
although some may take slightly longer.
A suitable germination temperature is approximately:
15–20°C.
Germination can vary according to:
The seeds should be:
Shallow sown rather than deeply buried.
Keep the growing medium:
Moist but not waterlogged.
Cold, saturated soil can slow emergence and increase the risk of seedling problems.
The ideal combination is:
Shallow sowing + cool mild temperature + gentle moisture + good airflow.
Once seedlings emerge:
Good light helps produce:
Compact, sturdy seedlings rather than weak stretched growth.
When seedlings develop several true leaves and are strong enough to handle, transplant carefully into:
Handle the young root system gently.
Water lightly after transplanting.
Allow seedlings to establish before applying additional fertiliser.
Maintain approximately:
25–30 cm / 10–12 inches between plants.
Correct spacing encourages:
When established young plants reach approximately:
10–15 cm / 4–6 inches tall
lightly pinch the main growing tip.
Pinching can encourage:
Avoid pinching plants immediately after transplanting.
Allow them to establish first.
Tricolor Daisy performs best in:
Full winter sun.
Provide approximately:
5–7 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Good sunlight encourages:
A little light partial shade may be tolerated, but flowering is generally strongest in full sun.
During germination and early seedling growth:
Maintain consistent light moisture.
Once plants become established:
Avoid:
The ideal condition is:
Moderately moist but well drained.
Before planting, enrich the growing medium with:
Moderate fertility is generally sufficient.
If additional feeding is required during active growth, use:
Light balanced feeding
rather than heavy nitrogen fertilisation.
Excessive nitrogen may encourage:
Tall leafy growth with fewer flowers.
Tricolor Daisy produces:
Colourful daisy-like flowers with distinctive contrasting rings.
The colourful bands around the centre give the flowers their characteristic:
Painted / Tricolor appearance.
Autumn and winter-sown plants in Lahore can produce their main flowering display from:
Late winter through spring
depending on:
Under suitable conditions, Tricolor Daisy can continue producing flowers over an extended period.
Regular maintenance can encourage:
Repeated production of new flowering stems.
The most important practices are:
Remove faded flowers regularly.
Deadheading encourages:
Remove the old bloom and its short flower stem where practical.
If seed saving is desired:
Leave selected healthy flower heads to mature fully.
Tricolor Daisy is an excellent:
Fresh cut flower.
Its colourful ringed flowers are particularly attractive in:
Cut healthy stems when the flowers are:
Freshly opened or nearly fully open.
Use clean pruning scissors and place cut stems into clean water promptly.
Plants grown in rich soil or exposed rooftop locations may occasionally develop:
Longer flowering stems.
Where necessary, provide:
Good sunlight and avoiding excessive nitrogen also help produce stronger stems.
During winter:
Cool sunny conditions support:
Healthy vegetative growth followed by abundant flowering.
For Lahore and the hot plains of Pakistan, Tricolor Daisy performs best during:
Cool winter to mild spring weather.
As temperatures rise strongly:
For these regions it should therefore primarily be treated as a:
WINTER / COOL-SEASON annual.
Inspect plants periodically for:
Pay attention to:
Early detection makes pest management easier.
Maintain:
Avoid:
These practices help reduce fungal problems.
