How to grow golden chrysanthemum

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is suitable for growing in a warm environment. The plant grows fastest when the temperature reaches 20 degrees. During the cultivation period, it is important to pay attention to the temperature not being too high or too low. If the temperature in summer is too low, it is easy to slow down the growth. If the temperature in winter is not well controlled, frostbite may also occur.

2. Watering: It needs moist soil and sufficient water to grow. Water it about every two days. In summer, you can water it according to the specific changes in the soil. Each time you water, you must water thoroughly. If there is water accumulation and the ventilation is not very good, root rot will easily occur.

3. Light: Flowering is closely related to light. Generally, you have to choose to plant it in the sunny direction. Sufficient light can ensure that it blooms more brightly and more luxuriantly. If planted in a dark place, the number of flowers will decrease or no flowers will bloom. At the same time, at least five hours of sunlight per day should be ensured.

4. Fertilization: Golden chrysanthemum does not have high requirements for fertilizer. Since it is generally planted in large areas, it is necessary to add fertilizer every two months. When applying fertilizer, the fertilizer should be diluted before application. At the same time, fertilizer should not be applied to the branches and leaves of the plant to prevent rot.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing and cuttings are the most commonly used methods. Before sowing, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water for two days, and then sowed. And be careful when watering during the germination period. Do not water directly, otherwise the seeds will be washed out. Cuttings are also quite common. When doing cuttings, choose branches that are ten centimeters long. After waiting for the cuttings to sprout, you can transplant them.

2. Pruning: Pruning is needed after winter, and the plants need to be topped when they grow to a certain height to avoid excessive growth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Damping-off disease will occur, and it is most likely to occur during the seedling stage. Increase wind speed and light transmission, and use wettable powder to control it.

2. Pests: Longhorn beetles may occur, and you can use dichlorvos solution to prevent and control them.
