I have a daisy plant which came with flowers, but after they died, no more grew back. The plant is doing great, but no flowers. My local florist suggested a time release food especially for flowering plants, but still no action. Any suggestions?
Getting a daisy plant to flower?
IT sounds like you need to increase the acidy in the soil by using a lime fertilizer
obviously the time release isn't working so it must
be the soil.
Try a pH soil tester at any garden store and test for yourself you will find you have to increase the acidy

Reply:I don't think daisies need fertilizer. Maybe you are just making the plant good and healthy with fertilizer, but if you would stop you might get flowers. Good luck!
Reply:There are oodles of plants called daisy. Is it a Margarette, a Shasta, a gerbera, coreopsos? Is it potted outside? These plants are not related and all need fairly specific things.
Reply:If you are adding more %26amp; more fertilizer, you may be adding too much nitrogen.
Choose a fertilizer with a high middle number.
The first %26amp; last numbers should be very low.
Remember flowering plants also enjoy a good dose of sunshine.
