Chrysanthemums can be divided into dwarf varieties, medium varieties, and tall varieties. The sowing time for chrysanthemum seeds is from November each year to April of the following year, and there are also differences in sowing times for different varieties. The sowing process requires soil that is loose and fertile, with good ventilation and drainage; ensuring sufficient water, watering appropriately according to different varieties, and fertilizing once a month. Let's talk about the details below.
I. Sowing Time and Method
1. Dwarf varieties of chrysanthemums are sown from February to March and need to be planted indoors. This is a type of chrysanthemum with a small plant size, and choosing to plant it at the end of winter and beginning of spring can meet its needs for water, light, and temperature. This variety of chrysanthemum does not have high soil requirements, as long as the soil is loose, fertile, and well-ventilated. It requires more water, watering every 2-3 days. Light time should be maintained at 8 hours a day. The temperature should be between 18-20 degrees Celsius.
2. Medium varieties are sown from May to June, and this type of chrysanthemum is planted at the end of spring and beginning of summer. This is because the soil is rich in organic matter at this stage, meeting the plant's growth needs. It requires more water, watering every 1-2 days to keep the soil moist. Ensure 8 hours of sunlight every day. Maintain the temperature at 18-25 degrees Celsius.
3. Tall varieties are sown in summer because the temperature is high, and they are more heat-tolerant. They require a lot of water, watering 1-2 times a day. Maintain sunlight for 8 hours a day, avoiding direct sunlight. Place in a shady area to grow, with a temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius.
II. Sowing Steps
Sowing in February to March can bloom in May to June; sowing in April to May can bloom in July to August; sowing in June to July can bloom in October;
If you want to extend the blooming period, you can pinch the top to promote the growth of lateral branches. During the planting process, attention should be paid to the amount of light, as sufficient light can promote earlier blooming.
III. Maintenance
Seedlings need to be transplanted multiple times to ensure the healthy growth of chrysanthemums. When the seedlings grow to 5 to 10 centimeters, choose to transplant them after a month and plant them after two months. During the seedling raising period, loosen the soil once and water three times. After planting, water three times and fertilize promptly.
