How to plant chrysanthemums? Planting time and method

Chrysanthemum planting time

Generally speaking, chrysanthemum seedlings can be transplanted in spring, usually in April when the temperature is more suitable. Transplanting at this time can allow it to grow quickly and the plant shape will be more beautiful.

Chrysanthemum planting method

1. Start from seeds or cuttings indoors in early spring, water whenever the soil becomes dry below the surface, and fertilize weekly with a chrysanthemum fertilizer until flower buds develop.

2. After the roots have grown, you can transplant it into a flowerpot. Use a small flowerpot when the plant is small. When it grows up, you can use a 20-30 cm flowerpot.

3. When the height of the chrysanthemum reaches 10 cm, you can do the first pinching and apply fertilizer. When there are 5-6 flowers blooming on the branches, you can do the second pinching.

4. During the bud period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers need to be applied once every half a month to promote flowering, and the buds need to be thinned out.

How to plant the chrysanthemums you just bought

1. Provide chrysanthemums with a relatively comfortable environment, water and ventilate them appropriately, and reduce external stimuli so that they can better adapt to the new environment.

2. It has a certain degree of cold resistance, but it should still be maintained in a warm environment. When it is first bought, it is best to keep it in an environment of about 20℃ to prevent its recovery time from being prolonged.

3. When you first buy it, before it blooms, you can water it a lot to moisten the soil and prevent water accumulation to avoid damage to the root system. In the later stage of the flowering period, you can reduce the amount of irrigation.

4. Place it in a well-ventilated place with soft light and provide it with sufficient light for a long time. However, in order to prevent the flowers and leaves from being scorched, do not expose it to direct sunlight and provide shade.

5. Spray water on the plants and the surrounding ground frequently, 2 to 3 times a day, to create a small environment with high humidity. Stop fertilizing temporarily and do not change the pot.

How to grow chrysanthemums quickly

It needs to be exposed to sufficient sunlight, but be careful not to grow in strong sunlight. It needs to be shaded from the sun at noon. It can survive in most soils, but it is best planted in loose, well-drained soil.

Chrysanthemums prefer a cool climate, with a suitable temperature of around 18-21°C. They need to be watered reasonably on a daily basis. In summer, they can be watered twice a day. Fertilizer is generally applied every 5 days, and the amount of fertilizer should be appropriate.

Precautions for cultivating chrysanthemum in pots

Chrysanthemums like warmth and are suitable for an environment of 18-21℃. Temperature control needs to be done well. The temperature should not be too high or too low, and should not be lower than 10 degrees.

Also pay attention to the ventilation of the breeding environment, especially when it is hot and humid, ventilation should be strengthened and the air in the breeding environment should be allowed to circulate.
