How to Plant Chrysanthemums
Main content introduction: Knowledge about how to plant chrysanthemums and the related information of planting time and methods. Next, let me introduce.
Chrysanthemum Planting Time
Generally, chrysanthemum seedlings can be transplanted in spring, usually planted in April when the temperature is more suitable. Transplanting at this time can make them grow quickly and the plant shape will look better.
Chrysanthemum Planting Method
1. Start planting from seeds or indoor cuttings in early spring, water when the soil below the surface dries up, and fertilize with chrysanthemum fertilizer weekly until the buds develop.
2. After taking root, they may need to be transplanted into pots, using small pots for smaller plants and 20-30 cm pots when they grow larger.
3. When the height of the chrysanthemum is about 10 cm, the first pinching can be done, and fertilizer should be applied. When there are 5-6 flowers blooming on the branches, the second pinching can be carried out.
4. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied during the bud stage, once every half month, to promote blooming and thinning of buds.
How to Plant Chrysanthemums Just Bought
1. Provide a relatively comfortable environment for chrysanthemums, water and ventilate appropriately to reduce external stimuli and help them adapt to the new environment better.
2. They have a certain cold resistance, but should still be maintained in a warm environment. When just bought, it's best to keep them in an environment of around 20°C to prevent prolonged recovery time.
3. When just bought, if it is before flowering, water generously to keep the soil moist but prevent waterlogging to avoid damaging the roots. In the later stage of flowering, reduce the watering amount.
4. Place them in a well-ventilated area with soft light, provide sufficient light for a long time, but avoid direct strong sunlight to prevent scorching and ensure shading.
5. Frequently spray water on the plant and surrounding ground, 2-3 times a day, to create a high-humidity microenvironment, temporarily stop fertilizing, and do not repot.
How to Make Chrysanthemums Grow Fast
They need to be exposed to enough sunlight, but avoid strong sunlight, and shade during the noon. They can survive in most soils, but it's best to plant them in loose, well-draining soil.
Chrysanthemums prefer cool climates, with a suitable temperature of around 18-21°C. Water appropriately in daily life, water twice a day in summer, and fertilize every 5 days with an appropriate amount of fertilizer.
Chrysanthemum Pot Planting Tips
Chrysanthemums prefer a warm environment, suitable at 18-21°C, and temperature control is necessary. The temperature should not be too high or too low, and should not fall below 10 degrees.
Also, pay attention to the ventilation of the growing environment, especially in hot and humid conditions, and ensure good air circulation.
The above sharing of planting time and methods, as well as a comprehensive introduction to how to plant chrysanthemums, hope to bring some relevant knowledge to netizens.
