Chrysanthemum morifolium thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. The plant also benefits from high humidity levels. Ensure it is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent fungal diseases.
土壤
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of garden soil, compost, and perlite or sand can provide the ideal growing medium.
肥料
Chrysanthemum morifolium benefits from a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
换盆
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
传播
Chrysanthemum morifolium can be propagated through stem cuttings or division. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer and root them in a moist growing medium. Division can be done in the spring by separating the plant into smaller sections and replanting them.
修剪
Pruning is essential to maintain the shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of the stems in the early growing season to promote branching. Remove spent flowers and dead or damaged leaves regularly.
毒性
Chrysanthemum morifolium is toxic to pets, particularly cats and dogs. Ingestion can cause symptoms such as drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is advisable to keep the plant out of reach of pets and children.
额外的
To encourage more blooms, consider deadheading spent flowers regularly. This will direct the plant's energy towards producing new flowers rather than seed formation. Additionally, providing support for taller varieties can prevent the stems from bending or breaking.
