Care Guide
💧 Water
To ensure the best care for Leucanthemum burnatii, water the soil only when it is dry. In spring, this typically means watering every 7 to 12 days with 25 ml of water. In summer, increase the frequency to once a week, using 30 ml of water. If your plant is in a pot, water it every three days. Be careful to avoid wetting the leaves when you water, and try to do so either before 9 a.m. or after 8 p.m. to help prevent diseases.

✂️ Pruning
To maintain Leucanthemum burnatii, follow these pruning guidelines: - In spring, lightly prune the plant by pinching back the apical buds when they reach 15 cm (6 inches). This encourages more flowering. - Regularly remove any withered flower stalks to support further blooming. - Once the flowering period ends, trim the stems down to 8-10 cm (3-4 inches). - To control overgrowth and prevent the plant from sagging, shorten the branches as needed. Additionally, remove flowers to stop seed dispersal.
