Livingstone daisy cultivation report

It’s like a daisy, not a daisy! ?? The varieties born in Africa have wonderful lamellae thick leaves!

Hi Hi! I’m Liz, a Living stone daisy fairy. It’s called Daisy, but it has nothing to do with that daisy. Translated into “daisy-like flowers”. It’s a sloppy name. For the time being, I was born in South Africa. Well, I don’t care about that, but my characteristic is the thick leaves with unique glitter, and the calyx that looks like radial petals like the concentrated lines of manga. I hope you can enjoy a little eccentric mood.

Livingstonedaisy “Almost Weekly” Cultivation Report

3/28start
Seed planting
Liz
The seeds are very small. If you sneeze, you’re likely to fly away, right? At first, it might be better to have them planted in pods or pete vans instead of planting in the ground.
4/4
Does not germinate!
Liz
Because the seeds are so small … wait a minute
4/11
Germination!
Liz
Sorry for the wait! It ’s a very small leaf, is n’t it? It seems that you can’t understand the details unless you look at it with a magnifying glass.
4/18
Leaf growth start
Liz
Growth after germination is surprisingly fast. Move it to the ground before the stems grow too much.
4/25
A healthy color when exposed to the sun! ??
Liz
Livingstone daisy is a flower with the sun. When exposed to sunlight, the leaves are dark, the stems are red, and they turn wild.
5/2
The third leaf comes out
Liz
It’s often said that you can’t tell unless you look at it with a magnifying glass, but at first it looks like the first leaf, but after that it shows a marvelous change.
5/9
The leaves grow
Liz
Leaves with a unique bend. From now on, it will become more and more “like”
5/16
The glitter begins to shine
Liz
The innumerable transparent small protrusions on the leaves reflect the light and give off a unique glitter. It’s pretty fashionable, isn’t it?
5/23
Leaves transform into thick and long
Liz
It didn’t feel so strange until last week, but it’s often said that it suddenly became a strange plant from this week. It’s finally time to show the true character of Livingston daisy
5/30
In a mass of “spatula” with thick leaves
Liz
This leaf is thicker than necessary, and it is difficult to understand what the shape of the leaf is. But surprisingly there are many fans
6/6
The stock spreads while branching
Liz
It has increased a lot, right? Living stone daisy has a plant height of about 10 cm to 15 cm. Very low
6/13
Strain matures
Liz
It’s been a little over two months since I’ve been fully energetic. It grows fast, very much.
6/20
Buds begin to form
Liz
As a whole, it stopped growing at this size and finally started to have buds, but the buds of Livingston Daisy are so small that I don’t know which ones are all.
6/27
Flowering!
Liz
And, if you’re not careful! It will bloom suddenly. This bright flower is surprising because it’s actually a calyx, not a petal. And this is a calyx, so I open and close it dexterously. When it gets bright sunlight, it opens fully, but when it gets cloudy or dark in the evening, it closes with a “shut”, which makes it look like a carnivorous plant!
7/4
Blooming all at once
Liz
July. The festival is at its peak when the cicadas start crying. Glittering, bright green leaves with fiery red and white flowers here and there. It ’s a tropical mood.
7/11
End of flower
Liz
I wondered if it would bloom in the coming summer, but the end suddenly came. Surprisingly short flowering season. Goodbye in just two weeks. It’s a surprising punch line that is native to Africa but is vulnerable to heat.
7/18
With a seed bunch, the last bloom
Liz
The center of the flower swelled and a seed bunch was formed, and the last flower ended in a blink of an eye.
7/25
End of flower
Liz
Like an ice cream in the direct sunlight of midsummer, it melts in a blink of an eye, and the end of the dying Livingston Daisy feels even pure. Goodbye to disappear quickly!

Livingstone daisy cultivation point

Since the seeds are ultra-fine, it is difficult to germinate, but after germination, it grows well and is fast. In general, there are many documents that describe autumn sowing and wintering, but in reality it is vulnerable to the cold of winter, and it seems that flowering will be in time even if the seeds are planted in spring rather than forcibly overwintering.
