Chrysanthemum care
When caring for chrysanthemums, most of the attention should be directed to the process of forming the bush. To this end, constantly trimming is done and plucking. The first pinching is done at a time when the main shoot grows to ten centimeters. The top of the shoot is removed. Next, you need to wait until the lateral shoots reach the same size and then pinch them. After these procedures, the plant is not touched until flowering.
We must not forget about regular watering. The plant is highly dependent on the amount of moisture in the soil. It does not tolerate drought well and there is a risk of throwing off all the buds, even if the drought is short-lived.
