What if the chrysanthemum grows a willow head?

The solutions for chrysanthemum to grow willow heads are as follows: ① Early planting or early fruiting. When chrysanthemum grows naturally, when it grows to 24-26 leaves, the terminal bud will stop growing and send out willow heads. At this time, if the short-day conditions required for flower bud differentiation are not available, the terminal bud will stop growing, and the lateral branches will germinate again in the axils of the upper normal leaves and continue to grow. Therefore, the cutting and planting time should be postponed appropriately and the core removal should be strengthened. Setting the head should be done after beginning of autumn and before high temperature in summer.

(2) Too much fertilizer and water supply, especially too much nitrogen fertilizer, will make the vegetative growth too vigorous and make the plants that are differentiating into flower buds turn into vegetative growth again. Therefore, water and fertilizer management should be appropriate, and nitrogen fertilizer is generally not suitable for flower bud differentiation. If phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are added, flower bud differentiation can be promoted. After willow leaves appear, the branches should be cut off as soon as possible when 12 leaves are normal, so that axillary buds can germinate and grow again, and pregnant buds can bloom. However, due to the bending of the stem, flowering is less and delayed, which reduces the ornamental value.
