Chrysanthemum pruning is seasonal, spring and summer are the stages of its branches growing new buds, and the branches should be cut short in time when they grow long. After cutting, it will quickly grow new buds from the bottom. When the new buds reach a certain height, retain 2-3 pairs of leaves according to the plant's shape, then cut off the top, and the remaining new bud stems will quickly become thicker and stronger, and then grow multiple new buds from between the leaves and stems. Continue to grow and prune continuously until autumn arrives, do not prune it then. Because in autumn, it will bloom, if you prune it, it will delay its blooming period. If you keep pruning, it will only grow new buds and not bloom. After entering autumn, it is the season suitable for blooming, stop pruning, and the new buds it grows will gradually grow taller, and when they reach a certain height, they will form flower buds and bloom directly.
This is the method of pruning chrysanthemums, proper pruning can ensure that it blooms many and good flowers. Not pruning in autumn can make it grow flower buds and bloom. If you continue to prune in autumn, it will cause it not to bloom or delay the blooming period. If you want chrysanthemum to bloom during the growing season, supplement it with multi-element fertilizers, balance the nutrient supply, grow good roots, thick branches, and many new buds. After entering autumn, stop pruning and supplement it with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. We can directly use monopotassium phosphate, give it 2-3 times a month, then put it under the sunlight, with sufficient light and enough phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, flower buds will bloom.
Chrysanthemum must have sufficient light throughout the year, this is the key to raising it well. Also, watering should ensure that the surface of the potting soil is dry for 1-2 centimeters before watering thoroughly. Chrysanthemum can be planted with garden soil, but it is best to use soil with good breathability to ensure a certain ventilation.
