How to make the chrysanthemum grow new leaves
The editor introduces to you how to make the chrysanthemum grow new leaves and the skills of growing chrysanthemum for beginners in the aspect of green plants and flowers, which will surely bring you help. Let's learn about it together!
The whole year's work depends on a good start in spring, and for flower growers, spring is the best season. We can see flowers blooming and our flowers growing rapidly in spring. In spring, the chrysanthemum is also a stage of vigorous growth. After flowering, it will grow enough leaves and develop a very good root system. Therefore, if you are raising chrysanthemum and are afraid of problems, you must pay attention to five key points in spring to make it grow more leaves and fill the pot with roots. Let's talk about it today. Because recently many flower friends have told Xiaoqi that their chrysanthemum is not growing and even has yellow leaves.
1. Repotting
Chrysanthemum usually needs to be repotted after one to two years of cultivation because it is grown in a small pot. When the roots grow well and the leaves grow enough after one year, it will bloom during the flowering period, which is its growth characteristic. Therefore, if you have been raising chrysanthemum for one year, it is most suitable to repot it in spring. Repotting can help it grow new roots and enough new leaves, and the nutrients in the new soil are abundant. We only need to replace the pot with one size larger than the original, remove all the soil, prune the dry and rotting roots, fill with new soil, and after planting, it can grow rapidly, and the seedling recovery speed is also very fast.
2. Light
In spring, everything grows, and the chrysanthemum will also grow rapidly. At this time, we must ensure it gets enough light because sufficient light allows the leaves to perform photosynthesis well, and the nutrients produced by photosynthesis will flow back to the roots to supply it to grow roots and new leaves. Therefore, chrysanthemum cannot do without light in spring. Only with sufficient light can it grow roots and enough new leaves better.
3. Watering
Chrysanthemum requires a lot of water, but its succulent roots are prone to rot if watered too much. To grow chrysanthemum well at home, just follow Xiaoqi's advice: water it when the potting soil is dry to about half. This way, it is less likely to have problems indoors. How to judge? You can find a bamboo skewer, stick it against the pot wall to half the position of the flower pot, and when the bottom of the bamboo skewer has no moisture, water it directly. This is the best watering method for growing chrysanthemum. It will not lack water or have root rot due to excessive watering during the vigorous growth season.

4. Fertilizing
In spring, you should know that it is the stage for the chrysanthemum to grow leaves and roots. At this time, you must choose the right fertilizer. Many people directly use high-phosphorus and high-potassium fertilizers, which will only cause the leaves to grow abnormally or not grow new leaves at all. We should choose fertilizers with high nitrogen content and no lack of other elements, such as "Flower More No. 10" or self-fermented bean cake and peanut cake fertilizers. Regular and quantitative application of such fertilizers, usually two to three times a month, with moderate concentration, will allow it to enter the stage of rapid root and leaf growth. Growing four to six leaves in a spring is not a problem.
5. Ventilation
Chrysanthemum has succulent roots. If you water too frequently or the soil dries slowly after watering, it is easy to have problems with闷根 (stagnant roots) and rot. Therefore, when raising chrysanthemum, you must find a well-ventilated environment. First, the temperature in spring is not low, so通风 (ventilation) will not freeze it. You can place it next to the window or directly outside. As long as the ventilation is good and the soil dries quickly after watering, ensuring reasonable watering frequency and sufficient light, your chrysanthemum will grow well with thick leaves.
To grow chrysanthemum at home, you must pay attention to these five key points in spring. If you follow Xiaoqi's instructions step by step, you can ensure that the roots will fill the pot in spring, and it will be even easier to survive the summer. Even if you water less, it will not have yellow leaves. You can try it.
