How to keep Arctanthemum Arcticum.
Fertilizer
A single application of fertilizer in spring is typically enough for Arctic daisy, though additional feedings can maximize its growth. Apply fertilizer about once every month to a month and a half. Fertilization improves the leaves' appearance and function, helping maintain even color and a healthy texture. It also promotes root development and enhances nutrient absorption for long-term plant health.
Pruning
The Arctic daisy benefits from pruning in the spring. Trim away dead stems and any excess growth to promote bushiness and encourage more blooms. Avoid heavy pruning later in the season, as it can lead to winter damage. To prevent disease and ensure a healthy, vibrant display, always sterilize your tools before use.
