But different varieties of chrysanthemums have different flowering times . For example, summer chrysanthemums bloom from May to September, while winter chrysanthemums bloom from December to January of the following year. How to grow chrysanthemums to make them bloom more? 1. Soil selection Chrysanthemums prefer loose, fertile, well-drained soil. You can choose a mixture of leaf mold, garden soil and river sand for planting to meet the growth needs of chrysanthemums. 2. Lighting management Chrysanthemums need plenty of light, but they should be properly shaded during the high temperatures of summer to prevent the plants from growing too tall. Autumn is the flowering period of chrysanthemums, so they should be guaranteed to receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. 3. Watering tips Follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do." Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. In dry weather, humidity can be increased by misting or placing birdbaths. 4. Reasonable fertilization During the growth period of chrysanthemums, compound fertilizers should be applied regularly to promote the healthy growth of the plants. During the bud formation period, increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can help make the flowers brighter in color and extend the flowering period. 5. Timely pruning Regular pruning can make the chrysanthemum plant more beautiful and stimulate the growth of flowers. Before flower buds begin to form, trim away dead or overgrown branches and leaves, and keep the pot tidy. 6. Reproduction method Choosing the right method for propagation can increase the number of chrysanthemums. Usually, chrysanthemums are propagated mainly by cuttings. When doing so, healthy, disease- and insect-free branches need to be cut from the mother plant as cuttings. It is best to choose semi-lignified branches, as these branches have stronger rooting ability. Generally speaking, the flowering time of chrysanthemums is mainly concentrated in autumn, but the flowering time of different varieties of chrysanthemums will vary. If you want it to bloom successfully, you must do a good job of daily maintenance and management.
