What should we pay attention to when caring for chrysanthemums? Do chrysanthemums need to be pruned?

1. Maintenance issues

1. Soil: Chrysanthemum is suitable for growing in well-drained sandy soil, which also needs to be rich in humus, and the pH value should be maintained between 5.5-7.0 as much as possible.

2. Temperature: It likes to grow in a warm environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is about 10-20℃. It is relatively cold-resistant in winter, but in order to ensure good growth, the temperature can be maintained above 5-10℃. Areas with lower temperatures need to be moved indoors.

3. Watering: Chrysanthemums need an appropriate amount of watering during maintenance, but not too much water. Its roots cannot tolerate waterlogging, so wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering it. Water evaporates faster in summer, so you can increase watering appropriately and spray water once in the morning and evening every day.

4. Fertilization: Chrysanthemum likes fertilizer very much. When planting, apply enough base fertilizer in the pot. Then, apply appropriate top dressing during growth and maintenance. Fertilizer can be applied every two weeks during the period of vigorous growth. Be careful not to splash the fertilizer onto the leaves.

5. Light: Sunlight is essential during the maintenance process, so it needs to be placed in a well-lit place during the growing period and exposed to sunlight to maintain growth requirements.

2. Does it need pruning?

Chrysanthemums naturally need pruning. They should be topped and budded in the early stages of growth. If yellow leaves and branches appear during maintenance, they can be cut off in time.
