White crystal chrysanthemum cultivation methods and precautions

1. Soil

White crystal chrysanthemum is not very demanding on the soil and can generally survive on the roadside or next to trees. For home breeding, you can choose loose and fertile soil or sandy soil with good air permeability.

2. Lighting

White crystal chrysanthemum is suitable for growing in an environment with good light but cool. If there is insufficient light, it may wither prematurely. It can be placed on a south-facing window for home care.

3. Temperature

White crystal chrysanthemum cannot adapt to high temperatures and grows best in an environment of 15-25℃. It can safely overwinter below -5℃. The plant will grow poorly above 30℃. If the temperature is lower than -5℃ in winter, the leaves will be frozen and may dry up and turn yellow, but will slowly recover as the temperature rises and will not affect growth. Rising temperatures in summer will accelerate the withering of flowers, so they should be placed in a cool location to prolong the flowering period.

4. Watering

White crystal chrysanthemum is relatively drought-resistant. It is usually watered once every one to two days. Water it frequently in summer but don't water it too much. Just keep the soil moist. Excessive watering will easily cause root rot.

5. Fertilization

The flowering period of white crystal chrysanthemum is relatively long, and it can bloom from winter to early summer. It requires more nutrients during the flowering period, and it is necessary to apply fertilizer once every 20-30 days, and once every half a month during the growing period. During the flowering period, appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added.

6. Notes

When the flowers wither, cut off the seeds, and then cut off the dead and residual flowers to promote the growth of new branches and extend the flowering period. In addition, weeds should be removed regularly to increase air circulation.
