How to care for Dutch chrysanthemum after the flowering period

Pruning after blooming

After all the flowers have withered, you can cut off all the branches above 10 cm above the soil, and at the same time cut off all the weak branches and leaves that have been eroded by pests and diseases;

Apply water and fertilizer after the flowers fade

At this time, the amount of water should be determined according to the conditions of the soil. If the upper layer of the soil turns white, you need to water it immediately. At this time, you must not let the plants lack water, but you must not make the soil too moist or have water accumulation. No fertilizer is needed from now until the spring of the following year.

The breeding environment after the flowers fade

After pruning, place it in the sun and let it get more sun exposure. However, it still needs to be moved indoors in winter, but try to place it in a room without heating. Otherwise, when the temperature reaches a certain level, it will produce new buds, which will consume nutrients and water, and will seriously affect its normal growth in the following year. You can choose to place it indoors at a temperature of around 0 degrees. This way it will not get frostbite and will not sprout new leaves. It is very beneficial for the growth and flowering of the next year.

However, if it is in the south during the winter, it can be kept outside, but if it is in the north, it must be moved indoors. The indoor temperature in the north is very warm, and the temperature can reach that in summer, so friends must find a place with lower temperature to place it.

The above is the maintenance of Dutch chrysanthemum after the flowering period. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are growing Dutch chrysanthemum.
