How to grow chrysanthemum well

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Chrysanthemum prefers a cooler growing environment. The normal growth temperature is between 16 and 25 degrees. The temperature in summer should not be too high. If it is higher than 26 degrees, the leaves will easily decrease. In winter, the temperature cannot be lower than five degrees, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite. Fortunately, it can grow in a zero-degree environment, but it is only short-term. It will get frostbite in a long-term environment.

2. Watering: Chrysanthemum has strong drought resistance. Do not water too frequently, just keep the soil moist. If you water too much and there is not enough ventilation, the rhizomes will easily rot and will not continue to bloom.

3. Light: Chrysanthemum is a light-loving plant. It can only bloom normally under sufficient light conditions. If there is not enough light, the flowers will automatically close and cannot be viewed normally. At the same time, if there is not enough light, the colors of the flowers will be bright and the number will be relatively small.

4. Fertilization: Do not apply too much fertilizer, just apply a thin layer of fertilizer. Determine the amount of fertilizer based on its growth. It is sufficient to replenish nutrients about once every half a month. During the flowering period, the use of nitrogen fertilizer needs to be reduced. If you continue to apply it, the flowers will fall prematurely.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Usually propagated by sowing. Sow the seeds directly on the soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist. They will germinate in about three days and can then be transplanted.

2. Pruning: Generally, pruning is done after flowering. Some withered flowers should be cut off, and dead branches should also be cut off to prevent bacterial growth and ensure normal growth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Leaf spot disease may occur, which will cause spots of different sizes to appear on the branches and leaves of the plant. It can be controlled by spraying some disinfectant solution.

2. Pests: Pests rarely occur, so controlling watering and ventilation can prevent them well.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and can be planted on a large scale, which has a great effect in beautifying the environment.

2. Can it be grown at home? Yes, its flowers are very ornamental, but it is more common to grow it in gardens.
