If they were nursery grown, and they have been blooming for a while, it could just be time for them to die back. Just trim off the dead flowers and wait for more blooms.


If you fertilized it to give it a little pep, you might have %26quot;over fertilized%26quot; them and burned them. Remove the drip pan from the bottom and water a lot to help flush out the fertilizer. Them don%26#039;t refertilize for about 6 months.
Reply:First we need to know how big they are, are they potted and what size pot, what type they are. But the rule of thumb has always been if they top soil feels dry and/or the leaves look droopy like all the life has gone out of them then water. Don%26#039;t over water. Just give them enough so that the ground around them stops sucking up the water so readily.





Also put them in or by a window that gets at least a couple of hours of sun a day.





Feed them plant food once every six month.





If they are cold sensitive keep them out of drafts in the winter time.
Reply:Your first two answers are good so I will not repeat but you cannot take a plant from inside and put it in direct sun, the sun is too strong this time of year. It needs to be conditioned which means you have to shield it from direct sunlight for a week or so. Stick you finger in to your knuckle and if it feels damp then leave it alone. It depends on the plant and some plants cannot dry out so keep in mind on a windy, sunny day it will dry out rapidly.
Reply:check to see if your daisies are root bound,and need a bigger pot. it sounds like they do,because when you water them,the water goes to the side of the pot and runs out,so the plants are dry because the water didn%26#039;t go to the roots.nanny
