Suitable growth environment and habits of chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant, which can blossom early under short-day conditions. Love sunshine, avoid shade, be more drought-tolerant and be afraid of waterlogging. I like the warm and humid climate, but I can also resist the cold. Roots can overwinter underground in severe winter. Seedling growth and bud formation need higher temperature. The optimum growth temperature is about 20℃.

Chrysanthemum has strong adaptability, likes cold and is cold-resistant. The optimum growth temperature is 18-2 1℃, the highest is 32℃, and the lowest is 10℃. The low temperature tolerance limit of underground rhizomes is generally-10℃. The lowest night temperature at flowering stage is 17℃, and it can be reduced to 15- 13℃ at flowering stage (middle and late stage).

I like plenty of sunshine, but I also tolerate shade a little. More resistant to dry, the most taboo waterlogging. I like sandy loam, which is located in Gao Qian, with deep soil layer, rich humus, loose fertility and good drainage. It can grow in slightly acidic to neutral soil, and the pH value is 6.2-6.7.
