How to grow chrysanthemums well, what should you pay attention to

1. Plenty of sunshine

In the process of chrysanthemum cultivation, light is an indispensable condition. If it grows in a place without sunlight for a long time, it cannot be exposed to sunlight and photosynthesis is difficult to carry out. Therefore, it should be placed in a well-lit location during the growing period, such as a south-facing balcony where it can be exposed to sunlight. However, strong light in summer needs to be blocked to avoid exposure to the scorching sun.

2. Suitable soil

Soil is the basis for plant growth. It must have good drainage and air permeability, and be fertile and contain nutrients. At home, you can use garden soil, leaf mold, and river sand to prepare it. In order to supplement nutrients, you also need to add a little base fertilizer.

3. Temperature requirements

Suitable temperature can ensure the healthy growth of plants. The temperature should be kept at around 15-20℃. Pay attention to keep warm in winter and maintain it above 10℃.

4. Reasonable watering

Chrysanthemums are more afraid of waterlogging during maintenance. If there is a serious problem of water accumulation, it will cause root rot of the plant. However, it needs water during the growth period, so it needs to be watered appropriately. In spring and autumn, water it every 3-4 days. In summer, the water evaporates quickly, so water it once a day. In winter, wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering.

5. Apply fertilizer

In addition to the base fertilizer before potting, it is also necessary to apply fertilizer every half a month during the growing season, and add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering.

6. Notes

When caring for chrysanthemums, you should pay attention to ventilation, proper pruning, and prevention of diseases and pests. When diseases and pests occur, you need to spray pesticides in time for treatment.
