How do you take care of potted daisies?
Caring for shasta daisy plants in pots is easy, as long as you keep them moist and pruned. Water regularly whenever the topsoil feels dry. Remove flowers as they fade to make way for new growth. In the fall, after the first frost, prune the plant down to half its size.
How do you take care of yellow daisies?

Do Daisy come back every year?
About Shasta Daisies
Like clockwork, these daisies return every spring or early summer and bloom until early fall.
What to do with daisies after they bloom?
For daisy varieties that produce single stems per flower, like Gerbera and Shasta, it's better to cut the individual stem back to the base of the plant where it meets the foliage. If all the blooms are spent, then simply cut the entire plant back to the base of the plant.
How long do daisy plants last?
They will continue their vigorous bloom if mature clumps are divided every two or three years and the non-productive center of the clump is discarded. Shastas' twisted stems may limit their usefulness to small arrangements and bouquets. As cut flowers, Shasta daisies last a week to 10 days.
Do Daisies need to be cut back?
In the fall, cutting back the stems to 2 inches (5 cm.) from the ground after the foliage has yellowed is a common practice. You may also choose to leave those dying stems in place to provide winter protection for the plant. In such cases, remove the dead stems in early spring to make way for new growth.
Do daisies reseed themselves?
Deadhead Shasta daisies regularly throughout the growing season. Remove flower heads as they fade to prevent excessive seed production and dispersal. These plants reseed themselves prolifically when left to their own devices, and they can spring up all over the garden and yard within a year or two.
Why do my daisies keep dying?
A common reason for wilting daisies is lack of water. If the soil feels dry to the touch, water the plant thoroughly. Maintain a regular watering schedule to avoid continued wilting of the flowers.
Do daisies need direct sunlight?
Daisies, just like their cheerful appearance would suggest, are sun-loving plants. Plant them in full sun for the best and most rewarding blooms all season long.
How long do potted daisies last?
So they usually survive for about only three years as potted houseplants. Provide indoor, potted Gerbera daisies with bright, all-day sunlight in spring, summer and fall. Supply them with at least three to five hours of direct, morning sunlight, and provide them with afternoon shade.
