How does chrysanthemum pick its heart

Generally, chrysanthemum will pick its heart 2 ~ 3 times in order to promote the germination of lateral branches and make the flowers bloom more

When the chrysanthemum seedling grows to about 10cm, you can pick the heart for the first time. When picking the heart, you can only leave 3 ~ 5 leaves at the base of the plant and pinch out the small buds on it

When the new branches grow 5 ~ 6 leaves in the future, you can pick the heart for the second time

What if chrysanthemums don't bloom

Reason 1: the illumination time is too long

Chrysanthemum is a plant with short sunshine. Too much light every day will affect the flower bud differentiation of chrysanthemum. Therefore, if the chrysanthemums do not bloom, they can be locked up in a small black house

Ensure that the lighting time of chrysanthemums is less than 12 hours a day

Reason 2: insufficient temperature difference

In addition to the light time, there is also a temperature difference in the conditions for chrysanthemum to breed flower buds. Flower buds can be bred only when the temperature difference is about 10 ℃

Therefore, conditional flower friends had better put chrysanthemums in outdoor breeding to increase the temperature difference between day and night

Reason 3: lack of fertilizer

It is mainly due to the lack of phosphorus and potassium elements. Therefore, potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed in the proportion of 1:1000. It can be sprayed once a week and continuously for 3 times, and the bud can be almost pregnant

What about rotten chrysanthemum roots

① First take the chrysanthemum out of the pot and clean up the soil on the root system

② Carefully check the root system of chrysanthemum and cut off the rotten and blackened root system with sharp scissors

③ Soak the wound of Chrysanthemum in carbendazim solution for about 20 minutes and sterilize it. Then take it out and dry it in a cool and ventilated place

④ Prepare new soil and flower pots. Don't use the previous ones to avoid rotting again. The bottom of the flowerpot is padded with a layer of ceramsite, which is permeable, and then filled with soil

How to maintain chrysanthemums daily

2. Watering: chrysanthemums like watering. They can be watered once every 2-3 days, in the morning or at night

3. Fertilization: after the beginning of autumn, use rotten liquid phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every 7 ~ 8 days, or use 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or 30% rotten cake fertilizer and water

4. Light: chrysanthemum is a short sunshine plant. It can bloom only after less than 12 hours of light every day. Note that the light is not good. If the home is very bright at night, put a paper box on the chrysanthemum to block the light

What to do after the chrysanthemum flower withers

In fact, it's just to cut off the chrysanthemums that have bloomed. After all, staying on it is also a waste of nutrition
