Chrysanthemums are bright and beautiful flowers that will decorate your garden. In the article, we will analyze the important points in caring for a plant in the garden.
Cultivation and care
Choose loamy, nutritious soil for planting chrysanthemums.
If the soil is too light or clayey, add compost, humus, peat or sand.
Pruning
Flowers should be pruned after flowering is completed in autumn or with the onset of the first cold weather.
Be sure to remove damaged or diseased branches, the remaining flowering shoots can be cut off and admired for a few more days, put in a vase.
Watering
Watering a chrysanthemum in a pot should be done 2 to 3 times a week, when the top layer of soil dries up. Do not flood the plant, as the root system may rot. Feed once every two weeks with liquid fertilizers.
What to do to make chrysanthemums bloom
Shading - chrysanthemums are effectively shaded after seven in the evening. Then flowering can be accelerated.
Phosphorus top dressing - abundant fertilization will help plants begin flowering much earlier.
Succinic acid - regular feeding with this remedy will help ensure flowering a month earlier.
