Foliage on daisy bush is looking brown and worn out. Any suggestions?
I have a daisy bush that did the same thing from time to time. I solved it by making sure that I water it very well so that water gets down to the roots . Watering every day only a little will not get enough water to the roots. Do water in the am and try not to get the leaves wet. Try a soaker hose or drip system, plants respond to that better. Fertilizer may be helpful, but don't over do it as you may also cause burns from that.


Get a general fertilizer and mix it 1/2 strength first and then see what happens. Get the kind you mix with water and then pour it on the ground around the plant, not the leaves because its so hot there.


With that and proper watering it should straighten out.
Reply:Make sure you are watering the soil directly and not the leaves etc. When it is very hot and you water the plant you can actually cause it to burn, so water with caution not to get water on the entire plant.


Try cutting it back and giving it some miracle gro as well.


good luck
Reply:I think it would be helpful to know who Daisy Bush is first. She might just be old and worn out.
Reply:fertilize. after a plant lives in the ground for so long it sucks most of the nutrients from the soil leaving the PH balance off wack. Or maybe it just gets too much sun and is burning. Make sure u water in the morning before the direct sun hits it. That way it gets a good drink for the hot day ahead.
Reply:I'm guessing that you are leaving the BLOSSOMS on the plant, and that is what is causing it to 'turn brown' and look 'worn out' ... go outside and clip EVERY BLOSSOM off, and 'prune away the brown and worn parts' and it should 'perk up' and even start blooming again ... and be sure you give it 'enough water' to live, but also don't 'drown it' in too much water ...





The 'daisy bush' is related to the chrysanthemum and should be treated 'just the same' ... and by taking all of the blooms 'off' you 'fool it' into making more instead of 'thinking it's done for this year' and dying back.
