Generally, Marguerite Daisies need high levels of organic matter in their soils to thrive. The soil should be well-drained. Keeping the soil too wet for long periods can cause plant collapse, but alternately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings can cause foliage necrosis. Ideally, monitor the soil moisture levels so that they reach neither extreme.
