How to care for chrysanthemums

temperature

Because there are so many types of chrysanthemums, their growth habits are also different. Every plant has its favorite temperature, and it is no exception. The ideal temperature is around 19 or 20 degrees. It likes coolness and is relatively cold-resistant. It is cold-resistant and heat-resistant and not easy to die when planted outdoors. When grown in pots, special attention should be paid to severe winters and hot summers.

Moisture

Chrysanthemums require a lot of water, but they also need to be watered reasonably. Too much water is not good. Water less in the rainy season when there is plenty of water, and water more in the dry season when there is less rain. In the summer when it is still blooming, water it twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. At other times, it is enough to water it once a day. There is no special restriction, and it is best to have a relatively fixed time. Be careful not to damage the roots when watering.

illumination

Chrysanthemums are not afraid of sunlight and can be exposed to sunlight every day, but they should not be exposed to strong sunlight for too long, as this will reduce the number of leaves and branches, thus affecting the flowering period. You can avoid the sun for about two hours at noon every day, and let it bask in the sun at other times, twelve hours a day is enough.

fertilizer

The best way is of course to go to a store specializing in chrysanthemums to buy them, but the cost is too high and not cost-effective. So just use some phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, whole vegetable fertilizer, and organic fertilizer. The use of fertilizer is determined according to the weather and its growing conditions. Under normal circumstances, once every 5 days is sufficient. Don't use fertilizer once the flowers are blooming. Use fertilizer in moderation. Too much or too little will be detrimental to its growth.

soil

Chrysanthemum is a very adaptable plant that can survive in most soils. It is best to plant it in a relatively loose and fertile soil with good drainage and some rotten leaves.
