Globe chrysanthemum is an annual composite plant with high ornamental value, loved by many flower enthusiasts. To cultivate globe chrysanthemum, it requires soil rich in humus and good drainage, otherwise it is prone to root rot. It is also necessary to master the four key points of cultivation: water, fertilization, temperature, and lighting, to keep the plant thriving. Let's talk about them in detail below.
1. Soil
Globe chrysanthemum prefers loose soil rich in humus and good drainage, with slightly acidic soil being more suitable for its growth. You can choose garden soil, decomposed leaf soil, and river sand, mix them evenly in a ratio of 4:4:2 as the growing medium, and then place it in the sun to sterilize before use.
2. Watering
Globe chrysanthemum is drought-resistant and flood-sensitive. Watering should be done when the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when watering, keeping the soil slightly dry, and avoiding waterlogging. Do not water during continuous rainy days, and if excessive watering occurs, place the plant in a well-ventilated area to promote evaporation and prevent root rot. Keeping the soil slightly dry will help the plant grow more vigorously.
3. Fertilization
Globe chrysanthemum enjoys fertilizer. During the growing period, fertilize every 20-30 days, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by potassium fertilizer and other trace element fertilizers, applying thin and frequent fertilization to avoid fertilizer injury.
4. Temperature
Globe chrysanthemum prefers a cool growing environment and is extremely cold-resistant. The most suitable growth temperature is between 17°C and 23°C. In winter, it needs to be moved to a warm place indoors for care, with the night temperature controlled above 9°C for better plant growth.
5. Lighting
Globe chrysanthemum loves sunlight and is suitable for growing in a sunny place. Indoor cultivation can be placed on a balcony or near a sunny window, receiving 8-12 hours of sunlight daily, which is a long-day plant. In summer, with strong sunlight, it needs to be shaded to prevent leaf burn.
