If you grow chrysanthemums like this in autumn, it is no longer a dream to fill the entire pot with them!

Fertilizing chrysanthemums in autumn

In order to ensure the nutrient supply of chrysanthemums during the flowering period, additional fertilization of chrysanthemums is necessary. Generally, the soil needs to be loosened before applying fertilizer. At this time, you must be careful to avoid damaging the roots of the chrysanthemum with tools and shovels. Increase the amount of fertilizer about two months before the bud stage, twice in total, and stop when chrysanthemum buds appear. If you are using liquid fertilizer, you need to be careful to operate when the soil in the flowerpot is slightly dry. Secondly, be careful not to spill liquid fertilizer on the leaves. Once spilled, rinse it off in time.

Watering chrysanthemums in autumn

Scientific and reasonable watering measures play a vital role in the growth and blooming of chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums still have a great demand for water in autumn, and generally the demand will be even greater after the buds grow. As for how to judge when to water from the appearance, you need to consider two aspects: climate and temperature. When the temperature reaches above 30 degrees, it needs to be watered twice every three days, and the leaves need to be sprayed with a spray every day. When the temperature is below 20 degrees, watering depends on whether the soil in the flowerpot is dry. If it is moist, there is no need to water.

prune

If the above two points are strictly followed, but there is no sign of budding at all, it is probably time to prune the branches and leaves. The buds at the tips of the growing chrysanthemums should be pinched off, and the buds below should be retained to reduce nutrient loss and bloom as soon as possible. Another point is that after the flowering period, the plant will have a phenomenon of top weight weighing down the branches and needs to be supported to stand upright.
