How to care for chrysanthemums in summer?

Chrysanthemum Care

Water Management

The amount and frequency of watering for chrysanthemums vary during different growth periods. Generally, there are several situations: In the spring when the chrysanthemum seedlings are just starting to grow, you should water them less to promote better root development.

In summer, the surrounding temperature is relatively high and the evaporation of water is large. At this time, it is necessary to water the plants in time with a large amount of water. At the same time, spray some water on the leaves of the chrysanthemums and the surrounding air. Maintain the humidity of the environment. The temperature difference in autumn is relatively large, and chrysanthemums grow particularly fast at this time. Reasonable increase in water amount can make them grow better. In winter, you should reduce watering accordingly to avoid water accumulation at the roots. Too much water can easily cause root rot.

Fertilization management

In order to make chrysanthemums grow strong and vigorous, fertilization is indispensable. We usually use fertilizers with higher nitrogen content, adopt the method of frequent fertilization and control the amount of fertilizer. In summer, you can fertilize the chrysanthemums by mixing fertilizer and water to ensure good air circulation near the chrysanthemums. When the sunlight is strong, you need to shade the chrysanthemums to prevent them from being sunburned.

Precautions

The weather is hot in summer, and we can water the plants according to the dryness and wetness of the soil. Each time we water the plants, we must ensure that the soil is thoroughly moistened, which will help the roots absorb water better. During the rapid growth period, if the leaves of the chrysanthemum are bright and dark green, you can stop fertilizing and just water it on time.
