How to grow potted chrysanthemums

1. Water

Potted chrysanthemums have relatively high requirements for water. They cannot be left dry. The soil in the pot must be kept moist, but of course there cannot be too much water. If it is too dry, the flowering period will be greatly shortened, and if water accumulates, it will cause root rot.

2. Lighting

Chrysanthemums require strong light, and sufficient light can make the flowers colorful. All dark-colored chrysanthemums must be exposed to sufficient light, and the stronger the light, the better. For example, the so-called black chrysanthemum must be exposed to full light to be that purple-black color. Light-colored chrysanthemums, especially green ones, must be protected from light so that the colors can be brighter.

3. Pruning

For potted chrysanthemums that have bloomed, the flower heads should be cut off to allow the buds at the bottom to sprout, and the new branches that sprout should be appropriately pruned to maintain the plump shape. Small chrysanthemums can continue to bloom until the next time in this way. If it is a large-flowered chrysanthemum, it will need to be re-cut and replanted before it can bloom again.

IV. Precautions

It should be noted that the indoor environment is poorly ventilated, so aphids are very likely to occur. When aphids appear, you can spray tobacco water or hang yellow plastic boards around the flower pots to prevent and control them.
