How to grow single chrysanthemum well

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Its habits are almost the same as those of chrysanthemum. It is better to keep it in a warm place, specifically between 15 and 28 degrees. It is afraid of both heat and cold, so it needs to be adjusted when the temperature is at both extremes.

2. Light: Chrysanthemum likes light. It will bloom well if you provide it with enough sunshine. Generally speaking, you can always place it in a place with sufficient scattered light and turn its direction appropriately. However, you need to provide shade when there is strong light, but you don't have to worry about this issue if you stay indoors.

3. Watering: When the single-stem chrysanthemum is growing fast, it requires more water. The substrate can be kept moist, but not too much water, otherwise the roots will easily rot. In winter, just keep the substrate from completely drying out and don't water too much.

4. Fertilization: Usually, you need to apply some foliar fertilizer to the plant, so that its leaves will appear more shiny. When flower buds are forming, some water and fertilizer need to be added.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: Pruning is a very important step in cultivating single-stem chrysanthemums. Generally speaking, after the chrysanthemum seedlings are transplanted, they need to be topped when they grow to a certain height. The pinching process needs to be carried out two or three times. Pay special attention to the last time. After selecting a full branch, the rest of the side branches can be cut off.

2. Repotting: Chrysanthemum is a relatively good potted flower, so you need to pay attention to whether the soil is suitable, that is, repot it in time. It can be replaced once a year or two. Leaf mold, sandy soil, etc. are good choices.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: There are many common diseases of single-stemmed chrysanthemum. For example, "leaf spot" occurs more often when it rains a lot, especially when ventilation is poor. It can be treated with thiophanate-methyl. Then there is "brown spot disease", which causes many brown half-strips to appear on the leaves. You can also use chlorothalonil and disinfect the soil in time.

2. Pests: There are also many, such as "leaf miner", "looper", "chrysanthemum leaf mite", etc. The soil should be disinfected while spraying the pesticide.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Chrysanthemum sempervivum is essentially a chrysanthemum and is non-toxic.

2. Can it be raised at home?: It has good ornamental value and can be placed at home.
