watering
Leucanthemella serotina, also known as autumn daisy, should be watered once every week or 2, depending on how dry the soil feels. Make sure to always moisten the soil down to the depth of 2 inches. Allow for the top inch of soil to dry out before watering the next time. This will help reduce the risk of overwatering as well as disease. You may need to water more often during hot weather or during any prolonged periods of drought.
sunlight
Leucanthemella serotina is a species of plant that thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is best suited to an environment that receives 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. During the summer, when days are longer and the sun is at its strongest, Leucanthemella Serotina should be sheltered from harsh afternoon temperatures by placement in a light shade. In the winter, when days are shorter and the sun is generally weaker, full sun should be sufficient. Avoid heavy shadows cast by other nearby plants, buildings, or other structures.
pruning
Leucanthemella serotina, commonly known as Late Marguerite Daisy, should be pruned twice a year. Pruning should be done lightly in early spring, just before new growth emerges. This will help encourage and promote bushiness. Pruning in mid-summer, after the main flowering period, will help to keep the plant neat and promote re-bloom. The overall amount of pruning is not great, as it is a relatively small and compact plant. When pruning, only remove a few inches of the tips, so as to not reduce the overall size of the plant too drastically.
