Thanks for the answer re. dead heading, but my plants are still young and I would like to know "What pinching out is advisable before flowering? Should I only pinch out the central growing tip or is further pinching out required ?" The plants are still only 4" tall. regards.........stan the man.
If you feel the plants are tall and leggy you can indeed pinch them back. This can delay flowering. I personally would leave until after flowering before pinching or cutting back.
Should I cut the stems back to where i can see a little bit of new growth The plant is still extremely dry Thanks
That sounds like a good idea. Fertilize lightly (no more than a half dose) and keep it watered. You should be rewarded with lots new growth.
My Red Baron daisy plant is huge and has been flowering well up to now, I have been dead heading it every week but it’s now looking a bit dry. Photo is attached below. We have been watering it but not overly so. It has been in the ground for over 12 months. We have pest oiled it today but is there anything else we can do to improve it’s condition? Our soil is terrible, clay and sand but the plant has seemed healthy up to now. We are just about to hit Summer in South Australia but the weather hasn’t been overly hot so far, a few days of 34 degrees but it thrived through the heat last summer season. I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.
Clay soil can be tough to work in. It is possible that it is not receiving correct fertilization because of the compact nature of the clay soil. You may have to supplement with a fertilizer.

I purchased two trees about a month ago and as you can see from the photos one of them has started to wilt. They have both received the same care watering and dead heading according to the garden centre instruction. Can you help?
It looks like a problem with watering, either too much or too little. It also could be the soil is compacted and not draining as well as the other one. Also check for pests on the one with the yellowing foliage. Here is more:

I bought Marguerite a month ago, and there were still green shoots at the time. But then all the green shoots disappeared, and now the plant is completely dry. Can you tell me how to save my plants? I'm very much obliged to you
The first thing that I would do would be to get it out of that clay! You need to plant that into some potting soil. Once in potting soil, care for it as it needs. This article will help:

I've just bought this marguerite daisy plant in the hope I can revive it for my daughter. The heads are wilting and dead and the leaves are turning brown what can I do to bring it back to life, so I don't probe my parter right
It looks quite cramped in that small container. I would repot it as soon as possible. Make sure that it gets a chance to dry out between waterings. Being too wet for too long is another cause of browning leaves.
