This kind of small chrysanthemum is not only worry-free but also beautiful, and even a novice can grow it into a big flower ball!

Qiantouju is well-deserved, anyone can become a great god

Speaking of chrysanthemums, Huahua always thinks of some flower shows I have seen outside. These flowers are a must-see during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Once they bloom, they turn into big flower balls. I thought it was an effect that only professional gardeners could achieve.

I never expected that the chrysanthemums my mother bought were already full of buds. There were 5 pots in total, and each pot cost only ten yuan. At first glance, I felt dizzy. Does this big flower ball look like the work of Dongguan Shan? It turns out that if you choose the right variety, ordinary people can also grow big flower balls~

Growing chrysanthemums in autumn is the most appropriate season. I didn’t expect to encounter thousand-petal chrysanthemums. It’s really pleasing. Don’t be afraid if the pot is full of flower buds. Just follow the flowers and they will definitely bloom successfully!

How to grow chrysanthemums? Come and see

You must take good care of the chrysanthemums you bought home with great joy. Many flower lovers find that the flower buds begin to wither as soon as they get them home, and the flowers wither before they even bloom.

1. Don’t expose your newly returned chrysanthemums to the sun

Most of the chrysanthemums we buy now come from greenhouses. They are somewhat fragile and cannot see the sun. We should put them in a ventilated corridor or on the TV cabinet to avoid being exposed to the sun. Wait for it to adapt slowly, and then expose it to the sun after about 3-5 days.

2. Don't be impatient when watering, be careful of the stem becoming soft

Whenever you buy new flowers, don't rush to water them. Wait until they are "thirsty" before watering them. For example, check if the flowers are a little droopy or the soil is dry. If you really can't tell, wait two days before watering them.

3. Moisturizing is a good method, don't spray the flower buds

In the greenhouse, the temperature and humidity are constant. The temperature is suitable now, but the humidity cannot keep up. Many flower lovers choose to spray the chrysanthemums, but water on the flower buds can easily affect flowering. It is best to sprinkle water around the flower pots or mop the floor to increase humidity.

4. Pruning after flowering is urgent

Because what we bought was chrysanthemum with flower buds, and the flowering was inconsistent after the environment changed. Some of the buds were full, some had bloomed, and some had not yet bloomed. For flowers that are about to fade, cut them off quickly to save nutrients for new buds!

Chrysanthemum can also be propagated by cuttings, and the roots take root very quickly

Chrysanthemum can also be propagated by cuttings, but the most suitable season is spring April-May, or late summer August-September. Huahua writes down the method, you can save it for later use:

1. Select branches

When propagating chrysanthemums, you cannot use old woody branches. Instead, you should use tender new branches, cut into 8-15 cm lengths, and only keep a pair of leaves on the top.

2. Prepare the sand medium

For cuttings, it is best to use sandy soil as the rooting medium. Ordinary garden soil can also be used, but the survival rate will be lower. You can plant a few more cuttings to be safe. Don't insert it too deep, about 2 cm is enough.

3. Maintenance after cutting

After the branches are inserted into the soil, water them thoroughly and place them in a ventilated place at home to avoid sunlight. To keep the soil moist, you can find a few trays to hold water. If conditions permit, flower lovers can sprinkle some rooting powder in the water.

4. How long does it take for chrysanthemum to take root?

Chrysanthemums can generally take root in a week. Don't be curious and pull them up to take a look. As long as you see the leaves become stiff, they are almost taking root. Continue to take care of them. At this time, you don't need to water them so much. Just spray them with water from time to time to keep them moist.

5. Maintenance after rooting

Generally, new buds begin to emerge half a month after cuttings. At this time, consider transplanting to a large pot, carefully dig it out, and plant the roots with the soil. After planting, water it thoroughly to help the roots take hold, and place it in a cool place for 3-5 days to acclimate.

6. After the chrysanthemum seedlings are acclimated, expose them to the sun and pinch their hearts

After the chrysanthemum seedlings are acclimatized, they need to be exposed to the sun. At this time, the seedlings will quickly grow taller and appear to be growing well, but it is difficult for them to branch out and spread out. When the height reaches about 20 cm, you must ruthlessly top it. After topping it, more flower branches will grow and it will slowly become a ball shape.
