How to grow blue chrysanthemum

Growth habits of blue chrysanthemum

Blue-eyed chrysanthemums prefer a warm, sunny and fertile soil environment, but they can also grow tenaciously in poor soil, high salt or drought environments. It should be noted that the stress resistance of different varieties of blue-eyed chrysanthemum varies greatly. Generally speaking, blue-eyed chrysanthemums with stronger stress resistance have spread leaves, creeping plants, and flowers in purple, pink, white and other colors, with the flower center mostly dark blue.

How to reproduce blue chrysanthemum

There are two ways of propagation: sowing propagation and cutting propagation. Seed sowing is generally carried out in autumn and winter or spring, and cutting propagation is generally carried out in autumn and winter.

Care of blue chrysanthemum

Because the current cultivated varieties of blue-eyed chrysanthemum have a relatively long flowering period, the plants can continue to bloom as long as proper watering and fertilization are maintained. The withered flowers do not need to be cut off, otherwise it will be detrimental to fruiting.

If you plant blue-eyed chrysanthemum in a container, you must keep the soil moist. Once the soil dries up, the blue-eyed chrysanthemum will enter a dormant period, causing the flower buds to fall and it will be difficult to bloom again. If it is dry, water again, but don't water too much. Too wet soil can cause root rot.

Disease and Pest Control of Blue Chrysanthemum

Because the cultivation and management of blue-eyed chrysanthemum is relatively simple, there are very few diseases and pests. Common insect pests are aphids. At this time, you can spray the plants with 800-1000 times diluted 80% DDT emulsion or 1000 times diluted DDT.
