Chrysanthemums (scientific name chrysanthemums) are always a beautiful addition to any garden or home. Chrysanthemums have long stood out with their round, round flowers that bloom in autumn with vivid colors such as yellow, white, pink, lilac, wine or ripe plum. Chrysanthemums are not only rich in color but also come in all sizes and shapes. You can learn how to grow and care for your own chrysanthemum plants by following the instructions below.
Steps
Split the tree and replant
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/32/Care-for-Mums-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/32/Care-for-Mums-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Every three or five years, you need to separate the clusters of chrysanthemums. This helps to prevent overcrowding of plants, and at the same time stimulates maximum bloom. When separating the tree is also the time to clean up and restore the old tree clusters. Planting time should be done in spring, when new shoots begin to appear. [1] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/74/Care-for-Mums-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/74/Care-for-Mums-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dig up the tree, remember not to damage the roots. Lift the plant up after dusting off the soil. Shake off the soil clinging to the roots. Remove diseased or dead plant parts.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f6/Care-for-Mums-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f6/Care-for-Mums-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Separate the chrysanthemum root clusters by removing the outer clusters and removing the middle of the plant. Some plants can be separated by hand, others may require a knife – depending on the size of the tree. Try not to damage the roots. [2] X Research Source
- Use a sharp garden knife to limit the risk of damaging the roots, as cutting with a knife is easier and less likely to break.
- Split into more branches if you want more small trees.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Care-for-Mums-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Care-for-Mums-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Replant the separated chrysanthemums as soon as possible. You need to plant chrysanthemums on soil that is well-drained, rich in nutrients and has loose organic matter.
Take care of plant
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/51/Care-for-Mums-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/51/Care-for-Mums-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose healthy plants. Chrysanthemum is a common plant in many regions, so many shops do not know how to take care of the plant properly. Do not buy wilted plants or plants with yellowed leaves. For healthy chrysanthemums, you may have to ask retailers when they will have their next batch and return on that date. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9d/Care-for-Mums-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9d/Care-for-Mums-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Repot the plant. The chrysanthemums that you intend to grow in pots need to be regularly repotted slightly larger and added with new soil for best results. Gently remove the roots if the roots are bunched together.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2a/Care-for-Mums-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2a/Care-for-Mums-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Water the plant a lot, but don’t let the water stagnate. The roots of chrysanthemums do not tolerate excessive moisture. Potted chrysanthemums require more watering than those grown in the ground, as plants grown in the ground can naturally absorb water such as rain and dew. [4] X Research Sources
- Don’t let the plant wilt between waterings. If the leaves below turn yellow, you need to water more. Do not sprinkle water on the foliage to avoid creating conditions for bacteria to grow or cause plant disease.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Care-for-Mums-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Care-for-Mums-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid leaving the plant under street lights or artificial light at night. Chrysanthemums are short-day plants, which means they need a long time in the dark to bloom.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/29/Care-for-Mums-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/29/Care-for-Mums-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fertilize the chrysanthemum several times a year. You should use a balanced and versatile fertilizer. It is especially advisable to fertilize chrysanthemums during the growing season to prevent premature blooms. [5] X Research Sources
- Use a 20-10-20 solution or equivalent solution each time you water. At the beginning of the blooming season, you need to change to a 10-20-20 fertilizer or equivalent.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/55/Care-for-Mums-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/55/Care-for-Mums-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Treat fungus with antifungal agents. Treat pythium root and stem rot, wilt, bacterial leaf spot, gray mold, and rust with natural antifungal agents such as garlic oil, neem oil or sulfur.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b7/Care-for-Mums-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b7/Care-for-Mums-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep the planting area clean, remove litter to prevent pests. Kill pests that commonly attack chrysanthemum plants such as aphids, mites, thrips and leafhoppers with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil. [6] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f0/Care-for-Mums-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f0/Care-for-Mums-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut off the tops of chrysanthemums in late spring and early summer to make them thicker and neater. This step will ensure you have a beautiful blooming season in the fall. [7] X Research Sources
- Cut dead or wilted flowers to encourage more blooms.
Caring for plants in winter
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/53/Care-for-Mums-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/53/Care-for-Mums-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut the chrysanthemum close to the base. Do this after the plant has died from frost. Apply a thin, breathable mulch to the chrysanthemums. Insulating the roots of plants will help them withstand the frosts of winter. [8] X Research Sources
- Evergreen twigs or similar materials can make a good mulch for chrysanthemums.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/44/Care-for-Mums-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/44/Care-for-Mums-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fill high ground around the tree. The surrounding raised embankment will help prevent the tree from dying, even in severe frosts (continuous freezing and thawing is what can happen to trees during the winter). [9] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c4/Care-for-Mums-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c4/Care-for-Mums-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Prepare potted plants for winter. If growing chrysanthemums in pots, move the plant to a place with lots of light but cool. Remove the covering material on the pot. Do not overwater the potted plants, as this will create conditions for bacteria to grow. Wait until 5-7.5 cm of the top layer of soil is completely dry before watering. You should water a lot until the water comes out through the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot.
Plant trees the right way
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a3/Care-for-Mums-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a3/Care-for-Mums-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plant or pot the chrysanthemums in full sun. If there is no place that gets 8 hours of sun a day, you should place the plant in a place where it can receive at least 5 hours of sunlight a day. [10] X Research Source
- If you have two options, one is morning sun, the other is afternoon sun, choose a place with morning sun.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Care-for-Mums-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums- Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Care-for-Mums-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use fertile soil with good drainage when growing chrysanthemums in pots. Chrysanthemums generally don’t tolerate standing water, so you should try to avoid soil that holds a lot of water. [11] X Research Source
- When growing plants in the ground, you need to choose a place in the yard that does not hold a lot of water.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Care-for-Mums-Step-18.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums-Step-18. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2d/Care-for-Mums-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step- 18.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Plant chrysanthemums in areas with good air circulation. If you place chrysanthemums close to walls or other structures, or plant them too close together, they may get in the way or the roots will have to compete with each other. The chrysanthemum plants need to be planted about 45-75 cm apart so they have room to grow.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Care-for-Mums-Step-19.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for-Mums-Step-19. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Care-for-Mums-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Care-for-Mums-Step- 19.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Every three years, you need to move the tree to another location. This will help prevent pests and reduce the risk of disease. (See the section on tree separation and planting for further instructions.)
Advice
- The pH for chrysanthemum plants to grow well is between 6.5 and 6.7.
