Before starting, observe the plant to identify dead or damaged growth. This inspection helps to determine which stems or branches need to be cut back. When making cuts, angle your shears at about 45 degrees. This helps water run off the cut, reducing the chance of rot and ensuring quicker healing. Trim back any parts of the plant that appear overgrown or are growing out of the plant's desired shape. Regular shaping encourages fuller and more vigorous growth.

How to Propagate Crown daisy plant?
1
Begin by filling a seed tray with a mixture of potting soil and compost. Scatter the seeds evenly across the surface and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil.
2
Select a healthy stem from the parent plant, approximately 10-15 cm in length. Cut just above a leaf node and strip the leaves from the lower half of the cutting.
3
Dig up the mature plant and carefully divide the root ball into smaller sections. Each new section should have a good number of roots and at least one healthy shoot.
How to Repot Crown daisy plant?
1
Look for signals like roots emerging from drainage holes or stunted growth in Glebionis coronaria. These signs indicate that it's time to repot, providing more space and fresh nutrients to accommodate its healthy development.
2
Select a pot only slightly larger than the current one. The pot should have adequate drainage holes to prevent water clogging. Choosing the right pot ensures the roots have space to grow and also helps in preventing root rot, keeping your plant thriving.
3
A well-draining, loamy soil mix is best. This type of soil ensures proper aeration and drainage while maintaining adequate moisture levels. It prevents soggy roots and encourages robust growth, allowing Glebionis coronaria to spread its roots comfortably.
