The following is an introduction to the knowledge of multi-head chrysanthemum propagation for netizens, the cultivation method of multi-head chrysanthemum. The following is a detailed explanation by the editor.
Double-head pot chrysanthemum requires uniform growth of each branch, and the cultivation management method requires effort. According to the editor's many years of work experience, the following feelings are shared about the cultivation of multi-head chrysanthemum: selecting芽插枝, there are foot buds and axillary buds. Foot buds are buds that grow from the root of the mother plant.

Double-head pot chrysanthemum requires uniform growth of each branch, and the cultivation management method requires effort. According to the editor's many years of work experience, the following feelings are shared about the cultivation of multi-head chrysanthemum: selecting foot buds and axillary buds for cutting. Foot buds are buds that emerge from the root area of the mother plant. In winter, when the mother plant is flowering, foot buds with abundant nutrients and thick buds are selected for cutting. Foot buds are about 7 to 10 cm long, remove the lower leaves, insert them into the mud flower pot, with the depth being 1/2 or 2/3 of the cutting, and water thoroughly after insertion. In winter, place them in a sunny area of the greenhouse for maintenance.
Liquid fertilizer management: Chrysanthemum loves fertilizer. Effective fertilization can make the roots and leaves flourish, and it is an important part of raising healthy chrysanthemum. From seedlings, it is important not to lack fertilizer and water. As the main stem grows, the concentration of fertilizer is gradually increased. Insufficient liquid fertilizer can slow down the growth of the main stem, cause wilting in high temperatures, and have a significant impact on future growth and development. In severe cases, the tip leaves turn yellow and fall off, the main stem becomes weak, and flowering may be delayed.
One-time topping: Depending on the variety and flowering period, topping is carried out from late July to late August when the flowers are close to the soil surface of the pot, i.e., the densest place for buds. Due to the well-developed rhizome, within a week after topping, there will be 6 to 8 or even more than 10 buds growing together, and they grow fast and are thick. When the branches reach about 10 cm, five, seven, and nine tops are selected for topping.
Immediate potting: After topping, when the new branches grow to more than 10 cm, they should be immediately transferred to a smaller pot. When potting, the soil ball should be slipped out of the pot, and the outer entangled roots should be loosened with the hand. Then, the five, seven, and nine-headed chrysanthemum plants are planted in pots of 7, 8, 9, and 10 inches in size, and rich soil is filled in. Care should be taken not to damage the leaves during potting. If soil sticks to the leaves, it should be cleaned with water after planting.
Removing buds and thinning flower buds: During the growth of the plant, buds will emerge between the leafstalks and should be removed in time to concentrate the nutrients on creating flower buds. After the terminal flower bud is formed, all side buds should be removed immediately. If the buds are too small and too dense, it is easy to damage the main bud during operation. The best time for thinning is when the side buds are about the size of black soybeans, just loose, and easy to remove with light pressure. If too late, it will consume too much nutrition and also affect the growth and flowering quality of the main bud.
Dwarfing treatment: After topping, when the stem of the chrysanthemum plant grows to more than 10 cm, a 15% wettable powder dwarfing agent with a concentration of 50ppm is sprayed on the tender stems and growth points. The second time, use a concentration of 100ppm, the third time, use 150ppm, and the last time, use a concentration of 200ppm to 300ppm. It is best to spray in the evening to promote dwarfing.
Inflorescence arrangement: When arranging the inflorescence, the flowers should not be too close or too far from each other, with a distance of about 6 cm being ideal.
For five-headed chrysanthemum, one flower is arranged in the center and four flowers are arranged around in a square shape, or they can be arranged in a pentagonal shape. For seven-headed chrysanthemum, one flower is in the center and the other six flowers are arranged around in a hexagonal shape. For nine-headed chrysanthemum, they are arranged in three neat rows. The central flower of the five-headed and nine-headed chrysanthemum should be 3 to 5 cm higher than the surrounding flowers.
