Chrysanthemums are one of the most common flowers in autumn, but in fact, the watering methods for chrysanthemums are different in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Proper watering methods can make chrysanthemums grow healthier and bloom more beautifully. The following will introduce the watering methods for chrysanthemums in four seasons in detail.
Spring Watering
1. In early spring, chrysanthemums require a small amount of water to prevent premature blooming.
2. As the temperature gradually rises, water once every one to two days to keep the soil moist.
3. Chrysanthemums in spring need to maintain high air humidity, so you can spray water once a week to increase it.
Summer Watering
4. The temperature is high in summer, and chrysanthemums need more water to maintain normal growth.
5. Water once in the morning and once in the evening every day to keep the soil moist and avoid excessive dryness.
6. Summer is a high-incidence period for pests and diseases. You can add an appropriate amount of insecticide to the water when watering to prevent them.
Autumn Watering
7. The climate is dry in autumn, so water once in the morning and once in the evening every day to keep the soil moist.
8. In autumn, chrysanthemums need to avoid being watered directly to prevent the flowers from rotting. You can move the chrysanthemums indoors or set up a canopy to shield them from rain.
9. Fertilize once every one to two weeks to provide sufficient nutrients for the chrysanthemums.
Winter Watering
10. Chrysanthemums grow slowly in winter and need to reduce the watering frequency.
11. Water once every three to four days to keep the soil slightly moist.
12. It is relatively dry indoors in winter. You can use a humidifier to increase air humidity, which helps the chrysanthemums grow healthily.
Other Precautions
13. Chrysanthemums do not like waterlogging, so do not overwater each time.
14. Chrysanthemums need plenty of sunlight, so it is best to plant them in a location with sufficient sunlight.
15. In dry seasons, you can cover the soil surface with a layer of dry grass or hemp shavings to maintain soil moisture.
The watering methods for chrysanthemums vary by season. Proper watering can make chrysanthemums grow healthier and produce more beautiful flowers. In spring, they need little water; in summer, they need more water; in autumn, they need to avoid direct watering; and in winter, they need reduced watering frequency. When watering, be careful not to overwater and just keep the soil moist. At the same time, choose a location with sufficient sunlight for planting, and pay attention to controlling indoor air humidity and preventing pests and diseases.
