How to grow multi-headed chrysanthemums (detailed explanation of breeding methods)

Article Catalog

Choose a medium-sized ceramic flower pot with drainage holes at the bottom, and use sandy soil with good drainage and water retention to grow chrysanthemums. Secondly, try to keep it receiving about 8 hours of light every day, and the temperature of the growing environment is between 15-22°C. In addition, it is generally necessary to water once every 2-3 days to keep the pot soil moist every day. Finally, apply liquid fertilizer every 15 days or so. In this way, the chrysanthemums will grow and bloom better.

1. Selection of pot soil

The plant shape of the chrysanthemum is relatively low and can only grow up to about 80cm, so the flower pot only needs to be medium-sized. Do not use plastic flower pots, as their poor air permeability is not conducive to plant growth. You can use ceramic flower pots with drainage holes at the bottom. The soil should be sandy soil with good drainage and water retention properties. The culture soil can be prepared by mixing sand, leaf mold soil and base fertilizer. In addition, after selecting the potting soil, you need to place it under the sun and expose it for about 3 days for disinfection and sterilization.

2. Light

Multi-headed chrysanthemum It likes light. Sufficient light is conducive to better growth of chrysanthemum. Try to keep it receiving about 8 hours of light every day, but no more than 10 hours. When the sun is strong in summer, the plants need to be moved to a semi-shady place and shade measures are taken to prevent the plants from being burned by the scorching sun.

3. Temperature

Chrysanthemum prefers a warm and cool growing environment. The temperature of the curing environment should be kept between 15-22℃ as much as possible. When the temperature is too high, you can open windows for ventilation, or spray water mist every day to cool down the chrysanthemum. When the temperature is too low, first move the plants to a warm place indoors for maintenance.

4. Watering

Potted plants When cultivating multi-headed chrysanthemums, you generally need to water them every 2-3 days to keep the pot soil moist every day. When the weather is cold in winter, wait until the pot soil dries before watering to avoid excessive water causing the pot soil to freeze. Be sure to water thoroughly when watering. Failure to do so may cause water accumulation, which may lead to root rot on the plant.

5. Fertilization

Apply liquid fertilizer every 15 days or so to facilitate the growth of the plants. It should be noted that the fertilizer concentration cannot be too high to avoid fertilizer damage.
