When to plant chrysanthemums?

1. Cutting time

The time for chrysanthemum cuttings is relatively random and can actually be done throughout the year, but in order to increase the chances of survival, it is best to do it between March and May. Usually, after entering July, the height of summer, it is best to avoid cutting propagation as much as possible, as it is likely to affect the number of flowers. When the temperature rises, the weather will become very hot and humid, and the cuttings are likely to be infected and rotten after being grafted.

2. Cutting method

1. Pruning: Cut off a branch with better growth ability, the length can be kept at about 20cm, and the upper part of the branch should be retained. Moreover, each cutting should have leaf buds on it, and it is best to have a terminal bud on the top.

2. Prepare the soil: prepare a substrate rich in humus, water the soil thoroughly with clean water, and prepare for cuttings. Before cuttings, the cuttings should be placed in rooting powder and soaked for about 2 hours.

3. Cutting: Find a clean wooden stick, insert it into a small hole in the substrate, then insert the sterilized cuttings into it and press the soil firmly.
