How to sow the chrysanthemum

Specific sowing method

Sowing Seeds

If you grow chrysanthemum seedlings in spring, it will take about three months from sowing to flowering. Find an empty piece of land, sow the seeds there, and then cover them with 0.8 cm thick fine soil. It is best to keep the ambient temperature at around 20 degrees. Spray water appropriately. The seeds will germinate about three days after sowing.

Transplanting

When the plants that have grown small seedlings grow new tender leaves, they should be transplanted. It is recommended to choose a smaller container for cultivation at the beginning. The temperature during the seedling stage is best between 15 and 20 degrees. The humidity should not be too high. Place the potted plants in a well-lit and ventilated place to facilitate rapid growth of the plants.

Fertilization

After the germination is basically completed, the taproot will stretch rapidly and true leaves will begin to grow. At this time, the soil moisture should be controlled not to be too high. Watering should be supplemented in small amounts after the surface soil is dry. Use compound fertilizers whose main content is calcium to fertilize and protect the seedlings. You can also add nutrients to supplement energy, and the lighting time should be controlled at this time. When the main root of the medal chrysanthemum reaches 4 to 5 cm in length, pay attention to the control of humidity, changing it in a cycle every 24 hours, which is conducive to controlling growth. During this stage, fertilizer should be applied 1 to 2 times a week, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. The fertilizer concentration should also be increased accordingly because the growth rate is faster and the nutrient consumption is greater during this stage.
