Cultivation methods and precautions of Medal Chrysanthemum

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Loose and fertile sandy soil is generally required for growing chrysanthemums. If you want to prepare it yourself, you can mix culture soil, leaf mold and coarse sand. Don't use too much coarse sand.

2. Temperature: Chrysanthemum likes a warm climate. It grows faster when the temperature is between 15-20℃. It can also adapt to high temperatures over 30℃. The temperature cannot be lower than 5℃ in winter.

3. Light: The growth of chrysanthemum requires sufficient light. Usually, you should place it in a sunny place. If there is insufficient light, the plant will bloom less and the flowers will be smaller.

4. Watering: Chrysanthemum likes moisture but cannot tolerate waterlogging. It needs to be watered frequently during the growing season to keep the soil moist. However, if there is water accumulation during the rainy season, it needs to be drained as soon as possible to avoid plant death.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Sowing: Sowing is a more commonly used propagation method for chrysanthemum. It is usually done in spring or autumn. Sow the seeds on the soil surface, cover with a layer of fine soil and spray water.

2. Division: The division of medallion chrysanthemum is generally carried out in March and April. After taking the plant out of the pot, divide it into several clusters. Each plant should have buds and roots, and then plant them.

3. Cuttings: Cuttings are mostly carried out in spring and autumn, and can be carried out indoors all year round. Cut the buds with stem nodes, keep the two leaves on the top, insert them into the sand bed, and they will take root after 20 days.

3. Pest and disease control

Common diseases of chrysanthemum are root rot and leaf spot. Root rot can be prevented and controlled with root rot solution, and leaf spot needs to be treated with carbendazim. The main pests are aphids and red spiders. Aphids can be killed by spraying with dervin grass, while red spiders need to be eliminated with trichloronate.
