Brief Introduction to White Chrysanthemum
White chrysanthemum belongs to the genus white chrysanthemum of the Asteraceae family, mostly cultivated for one or two years. It is native to North Africa and Europe, with low stature, strong growth, good adaptability to the environment, long blooming period, and many flowers, making it an excellent ornamental plant. It is commonly used in flower beds, landscape arrangements, and potted plant displays. White chrysanthemum prefers a sunny environment and can tolerate low temperatures of -5 degrees Celsius. Its natural blooming period can last from winter solstice to early summer, with spring being the peak blooming season.
Methods and Precautions for White Chrysanthemum Explosive Potting
White chrysanthemum is usually propagated by sowing, with sowing in September of the autumn. After sowing, keep the potting soil moist, and it usually germinates in about a week. When caring for potted white chrysanthemum, do the following points to achieve an explosive pot easily.
1. - - Fertile Soil - -
White chrysanthemum has a strong growth, loving well-drained and fertile soil. It is recommended to use general nutrient soil for potting and add a sufficient amount of fermented organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer as a base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. Note that the base fertilizer should be mixed with a small amount of potting soil and should not come into direct contact with the white chrysanthemum roots.
When transplanting white chrysanthemum seedlings, attention should be paid to transplanting with the original soil. After transplanting, place them in a bright area with scattered light, maintain ventilation, and let them recover for 1-2 days. If there are no signs of softening or wilting, they can be moved to a gentle light area for care and gradually transition to full sunlight.
2. - - Sufficient Light - -
White chrysanthemum loves sunshine, especially in autumn and winter when it is in the stage of growing branches. Keeping sufficient light will make the branches of white chrysanthemum grow short and strong, making the overall plant compact, and the effect will be better when it blooms in spring.
3. - - Maintain Sufficient Fertilization and Watering - -
White chrysanthemum grows fast, blooms a lot, and has a long blooming period, so it requires a lot of fertilizer and water. Autumn and winter are the times when white chrysanthemum grows branches and leaves, and sufficient fertilizer and water should be maintained. In autumn and winter, water should be poured when the surface of the potting soil is relatively dry, while in spring, when the plant is in full bloom, water can be poured when the surface of the potting soil is dry. Each watering should be thorough.
In autumn and winter, a general-purpose water-soluble fertilizer can be applied every 10 days to promote branch and leaf growth. In spring, when a large number of flower buds are growing, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be strengthened. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied every 5-7 days to promote flower bud growth, increase the number of flowers, and extend the blooming period.
Note: If the temperature continues to be below 5 degrees Celsius in winter, the growth of white chrysanthemum will stop and the application of water-soluble fertilizer should be stopped. If the temperature continues to be below -5 degrees, the leaves of white chrysanthemum will turn yellow but will not wither and will resume growth when it warms up.
4. - - Proper Pruning - -
White chrysanthemum has good natural branching, and the natural growth canopy can also grow quite full. Of course, if you can frequently pinch the tips to promote branching, it will make the plant grow even fuller, with a larger canopy and more flowers.
In addition to pinching the tips in autumn and winter to promote branching, when the flowers of white chrysanthemum fade, the残 flowers should be pruned in time to promote the growth of new flower buds and bloom again. If seeds are to be saved, the残 flowers of the last batch in spring can be left unpruned to produce seeds. When the seed pods mature in May, they can be harvested and sown again in autumn.
