Seeding propagation method of snake eye chrysanthemum

Seed propagation of snake eye chrysanthemum

Sowing time

Snake eye chrysanthemum is generally propagated by sowing in spring and autumn.

Seed germination

Generally, soak the seeds in warm water for three to ten hours, until the seeds absorb water and swell.

Sowing and thinning

The seeds can be sown in the open field and cultivated in sandy loam. After the seeds germinate, thinning should be carried out in time, and the sick and unhealthy seedlings should be pulled out to allow the remaining seedlings to have some space to grow. When the seedlings grow three or more leaves, they can be transplanted into pots.

Fertilizer and water management

Snake-eye chrysanthemum has a large demand for fertilizer and water. Nutrients should be supplemented in time during the plant's vigorous growth period, and some solid fertilizers can be applied after flowering. Snake-eye chrysanthemum likes well-drained soil, so do not water it too much.

Plant management

If the snake-eye chrysanthemum is not pinched, the plant will grow relatively tall. In order to promote the differentiation of side branches, the plant can be topped and pinched. Pinching can be done when the plant grows to a height of ten centimeters.

Snake eye chrysanthemum is prone to aphids, so it is necessary to spray pesticides frequently to prevent and control it, and place the plant in a well-lit and ventilated place.
