Four-season maintenance methods for potted aster

spring

In spring, potted asters are suitable for placement on east-, west- and south-facing balconies.

Chrysanthemums can be sown in spring when the temperature is stable above 15℃. Due to the suitable temperature, the plants grow rapidly.

If it is a transplanted aster, appropriate amount of top dressing should be applied after it survives to promote the growth of the seedlings and help them survive the summer safely.

For aster plants that have not been newly planted or transplanted, when the outdoor temperature is stable at above 10°C, they can be moved to the balcony external rack for cultivation. When the temperature rises, liquid fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times to keep the soil moist and provide sufficient light.

summer

In summer, potted asters are suitable for placement on east-facing or north-facing balconies.

Due to the relatively high temperature in summer, the growth of chrysanthemums gradually slows down, the environment is relatively dry, and they require a lot of water. Placing the potted plants out of direct sunlight can absorb scattered light.

Pay attention to ventilation, cooling and water supply. Stop fertilizing when the temperature is too high. After the temperature gradually drops, you can move it to a balcony with direct sunlight.

autumn

In autumn, potted asters are suitable for placement on east-, west- and south-facing balconies.

When the temperature drops to around 5℃ in late autumn, you should pay attention to keeping warm, ensure sufficient light, and strengthen water and fertilizer management. If managed properly, it will bloom again in the fall.

Aster likes fertilizer, but not too much, otherwise it will grow too tall, making the plant shape loose and affecting its appearance. After the temperature drops in late autumn, the old plants stop flowering and can be discarded as they are old.

winter

In winter, potted asters are suitable for placement on east-facing or south-facing balconies.

Asters are not cold-resistant, so it is best to move them indoors. The minimum temperature on the balcony should be above 3°C.

Keep the soil moist and have sufficient light, and stop fertilizing at this time.

If the indoor temperature can be kept above 10℃ in winter, appropriate fertilizer can be applied. At this time, the chrysanthemum can grow normally, but the speed is very slow.
