Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Leucanthemum pallens is a perennial herbaceous plant that prefers sunny sites and originates from open habitats, commonly found in meadows and grasslands. It favors full sun but can also tolerate partial-sun conditions.
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C
Leucanthemum pallens can tolerate a broad range of temperatures, but its distribution can still be restricted by specific combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as prolonged high temperatures, can increase the probability of Leucanthemum pallens dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can improve the plant's chances of survival.

🌱 Fertilizer
The best time to fertilize a Leucanthemum pallens is in early spring, as it comes out of dormancy and begins active growth. Fertilization supplies essential nutrients needed for healthy growth. Although Leucanthemum pallens has relatively low fertilizer requirements, applying fertilizer once a year can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting blooms.
