How to pot chrysanthemum seedlings with flowers in autumn?
The editor introduces the guide on how to pot chrysanthemum seedlings with flowers in autumn, a great tip worth collecting!
Autumn is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom and a perfect time to purchase them. Planting chrysanthemums in autumn has two significant advantages: one is that you can enjoy the flowers directly, and the other is to ensure the variety.
Many of us who bought chrysanthemum seedlings in spring have encountered this situation: we planted more than a dozen varieties of chrysanthemums with confidence in spring, managed them through the hot summer, and when they bloomed in autumn, we found they were all small white flowers or uniform yellow chrysanthemums. At this point, we couldn't help but want to bring out the five-meter-long big (K-D) we've been collecting for several years...
Therefore, if you want to buy your favorite variety of chrysanthemums, you must buy them in autumn, not the seedlings, but those with flowers. Even a single branch with flowers is fine, as varieties with flowers are guaranteed.
I have always liked pompon chrysanthemums, so I bought a pompon chrysanthemum with flowers a few days ago. I chose a multi-colored pot because I was looking for variety. As the saying goes, seedlings don't fear growth, and chrysanthemums are easy to grow, so there's no need to chase big seedlings. Of course, if you want to enjoy the flowers, buying big seedlings directly will yield a better result.

The pompon chrysanthemum with six colors I bought was not an original pot seedling, but an assembled one with six colors, all with flowers, and the variety is guaranteed. So, how should these chrysanthemum seedlings with flowers be potted?
Method for potting newly purchased chrysanthemums
Whether you buy a single large chrysanthemum seedling or an assembled one like the Green Plant Enthusiast Network, the potting method is essentially the same.
1. Potting with plain soil
Firstly, prepare loose and breathable soil for the pot. It is important to use plain soil as much as possible and not add a lot of fertilizer to the soil. It's unnecessary, and too much fertilizer can easily cause root burn. Chrysanthemums themselves are very tolerant to poor soil, and the current seedlings or potted plants already have flower buds that have grown or are even in full bloom, so there's no need to fertilize.
The main thing is that newly transplanted seedlings have not yet adapted to the new environment and can easily wither in a nutrient-rich environment. Therefore, pot them in plain soil and fertilize appropriately after they have adapted.
