The best time for transplanting autumn chrysanthemum is in autumn when the temperature is suitable for plant recovery. During the transplanting process, the soil should be kept loose and well-drained to promote root growth.Scientific fertilizationFertilization is an important factor affecting the blooming period of autumn chrysanthemum. In the early growth stage, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to promote plant growth; in the later growth stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied to promote bud formation and blooming. According to the recommendation of the "China Flower Horticulture" magazine, applying a moderate amount of compound fertilizer can balance plant nutrition and extend the blooming period.Reasonable wateringAutumn chrysanthemum prefers a moist environment but is sensitive to waterlogging. When watering, keep the soil moist and avoid water accumulation. During the blooming period, reduce the frequency of watering to promote bud formation and flower opening. It is best to water in the morning or evening to avoid high temperatures at noon.Pruning and pinchingDuring the growth of autumn chrysanthemum, timely pruning and pinching can promote plant growth and extend the blooming period. When pruning, remove diseased and weak branches, and keep the plant ventilated and well-lit. Pinching can promote branching and increase the number of flowers.Pest and disease controlAutumn chrysanthemum is prone to pest and disease attacks during growth. To prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, inspect the plants regularly and take timely measures when pests or diseases are found. Biopesticides or chemical pesticides can be used for control, but attention should be paid to the rational use of pesticides to avoid harm to the environment and human health.Controlling the blooming period of autumn chrysanthemum is a systematic project that requires comprehensive management from variety selection, transplanting, fertilization, watering, pruning, and pest and disease control.
