Chrysanthemums are very beautiful and very bright flowers that can grow both in greenhouse conditions and at home, the so-called potted chrysanthemums. There are many species and subspecies of these wonderful plants. But it is worth noting that breeders do not stop there and continue to develop new types of chrysanthemums.
It is when it gets closer to winter that chrysanthemums begin to delight their owners with inflorescences. If we compare it with other plants that are exotic, then we can say about this flower that it is not whimsical.
It does not require mandatory lighting or soil acidity. It is also worth noting that chrysanthemums are very resistant to any insects (pests). So, let's look at how to breed, care for, and propagate potted chrysanthemums.

Growing potted chrysanthemums at home

Potted chrysanthemums They propagate by cuttings, and this is very easy to do. If you managed to root the cutting, then you can plant it in a box, and with proper care, the chrysanthemum can already bloom in a few weeks, namely in nine to twelve.
When the bushes have already grown, they can be connected in several pieces to make it beautiful.But it is worth remembering that no more than 3 - 5, of course more is possible, but only if the size of the container allows it. If you have chosen a pot for planting, then you need to choose a diameter of 18 - 30 centimeters.
Bushes should be planted in a circle, at the same distance from each other. If you purchased or divorced from Cherenkov several chrysanthemum bushes with different inflorescences, then they can be planted together - it will look very beautiful both from afar and up close.

What you need to know about caring for potted chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums prefer a cool room, so they really like the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when the temperature is already dropping. But flowering occurs at the moment when the day length becomes no more than eight hours, and this is closer to the winter season.
Chrysanthemum will do well with temperature +18, so it’s best to place the pot not near the radiator.
  • If the temperature is higher, the buds may dry out or the leaves may turn yellow.
  • When the plant finishes flowering, it can be placed in a cold place with a temperature of +3 for the winter. And in March you need to transplant it into a new substrate.
  • Do not spare the plant and trim the greens, then your plant will not be elongated, but will bush.
  • The soil should preferably be loose and fertile. Garden soil or humus is good for this.
  • As soon as the cuttings have taken root, they should be fed immediately. Do not forget to feed adult plants, especially during periods of rapid growth and flowering.
  • The plant should not be overdried; there should be moderate watering, which will not dry out the roots of the plant.
  • If your chrysanthemum has produced a lot of inflorescences, and you can’t wait for it to bloom faster, then you need to cut off some of the ovaries, then other flowers will be much larger in size.

What to pay attention to when purchasing in a store

When you buy a chrysanthemum in a store, carefully inspect the plant for diseases. The plant's leaves should not dry out or form any dots.
As soon as you bought a plant, you should quarantine it for 2 - 3 weeks, in case there are hidden diseases. After the quarantine is over, the chrysanthemum can be transplanted into another pot and placed together with other plants.

Comments

It looks strong and strong, but such a vulnerable flower. Watering, light and always moderate temperature are the key to good cultivation of indoor chrysanthemums. Otherwise, the lower leaves will begin to turn yellow and fall off, and then the entire flower will disappear.

I really like indoor chrysanthemums. I tried several times to grow them on the windowsill. But every time it all ended the same way - my plants were overcome by aphids. I don’t grow any more chrysanthemums.

I have already tried several times to grow chrysanthemums at home, but not a single attempt was successful. Each time the plant dies.
