Will Baby’s Breath Grow In India?

Question

Will the plant be able to survive in a small pot in hot and humid climates in South India? How much water will it need? Temperatures rise quite a lot so should I grow it inside and keep it out for sunlight a little while every day? Same question for common daisies?

Answer 1

Both plants can grow in a wide range of conditions, with the Daisy being more tolerant of direct sun. Growing Baby's Breath will require a bit of shade during the heat of the day, as they will be sensitive to this.

Watering both will be a similar procedure. Once the soil is, completely, dry down to 3 inches or so, then you can water again.
