I. PLANT CHARACTERISTICS
Chrysanthemum has a rosette shape with lush green leaves, blooming after 4-5 years of growth. The flowers are delicate and fragrant, making it a popular ornamental plant suitable for indoor growing. Many people prefer to grow chrysanthemum indoors to decorate their living spaces with its beautiful blooms and pleasant fragrance.
II. GROWING AND CARE TECHNIQUES
1. Temperature
Chrysanthemum prefers temperatures between 18-21°C. When temperature exceeds 30°C, place the plant in a well-ventilated area. The plant can survive without wilting if temperature is managed appropriately.
2. Humidity
Chrysanthemum does not like excessive moisture. Water every few days as needed. On rainy days, move the plant indoors or to a shaded outdoor area to prevent leaf drop or wilting.
3. Light
Chrysanthemum requires bright light for good blooming. About 10 hours of light is ideal, but the plant can survive without direct intense light. Intense light in May during blooming makes petals darker and healthier.
4. Fertilizing
Chrysanthemum needs balanced fertilizer applied at appropriate times. If large-flowered variety, no fertilizer needed during female flowering period, only when needed. If many-flowered variety, fertilize twice per week appropriately, continuing bi-weekly after blooming period ends.
