How to grow chrysanthemums

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use loose, well-drained sandy soil, and acidic soil is best.

2. Watering: Water in time during dry weather and drain in time during rainy weather; ensure sufficient moisture before and after bud formation, and the soil should not be too dry or too wet; if water accumulation occurs due to excessive watering, take drainage measures in time to avoid root rot.

3. Fertilization: During the growth period, ensure sufficient nutrients, mainly nitrogen fertilizer and supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. This can make the branches of chrysanthemums stronger. Water them appropriately after fertilizing.

4. Light: Give it about 12 hours of light every day, but do not expose it to strong sunlight, otherwise it may shorten its flowering period.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Propagation by cuttings: Insert the cuttings into the potting soil and compact the soil. Water appropriately after cutting to keep the soil moist. It is best to place the flower pots indoors during the day to avoid strong light exposure.

2. Propagation by root division: Dig up the mother plant, select the chrysanthemum seedlings with many roots and plant them, then compact the soil and water them appropriately.

3. Common pests and diseases

Common diseases and pests include brown spot disease, powdery mildew, aphids, etc., which are mostly caused by insufficient light, lack of ventilation, and large temperature difference between day and night. They can be prevented and controlled with pesticides such as carbendazim. In normal times, you should also pay attention to strengthening ventilation and providing it with sufficient light.
