Chrysanthemum in a pot on your windowsill

If you have a chrysanthemum in a pot, know - with proper care it will please you for a very long time. This flower has long ceased to be seasonal. The experience of breeding chrysanthemums in pots (you can buy this plant now and through the Internet) came to us from Japan, where these flowers are deified. In China and Korea, they are also treated with love. At present, there are up to one hundred and sixty species of this bright plant. As a room flowers, shrub and Chinese chrysanthemum in a pot are especially often grown. Transplantation, multiplication and peculiarities of care of these plants will be considered in this article.

Flower Purchase

Acquired chrysanthemum should be in specialized greenhouses. Nowadays they are grown there all year round. This requires the use of special lighting technology. Since chrysanthemum naturally blooms in autumn, its buds are formed only for a certain duration of daylight hours. It is artificially reduced in greenhouse conditions. In addition, this technique is complemented by the use of chemicals that inhibit growth - to make the bushes take a certain shape, and their branches are strong and straight. As a result of these actions of the flower growers, that chrysanthemum in the pot that you can buy in the store, most often looks very compact, but blooms very densely. At home, this trick with reducing lighting you most likely will not be able to repeat. Therefore, it is better to contact a flower shop. The choice of pot and flower should be done on the basis of the appearance of the plant. Only a few inflorescences should open on it. The rest should be tightly closed - then the plant will please you with the scent of flowers until eight weeks.

Chrysanthemum in a pot. Care

Long bloom will be ensured if your green pet is in a well-lit area, but at the same time protected from direct sunlight. You can achieve this if you have the opportunity during the day to rearrange the chrysanthemum from place to place. The flower well tolerates frequent movement. But absolutely without the sun it should not be left - since then the buds can fall and the chrysanthemum in the pot will not bloom at all. The air temperature at which the plant will feel the best, should not be above fifteen degrees Celsius. The heat will only lead to an intensive and simultaneous opening of all the buds and their premature wilting. Such a picture you can watch in the hot autumn, if in your garden in the open ground grow chrysanthemums. At home, it is possible to avoid this. Blooming chrysanthemum should be watered abundantly and sprayed her leaves from the spray. Otherwise, the dryness of the soil and air will provoke the fall of the leaves.

After the flowering chrysanthemum is most often thrown away. Or, if possible, planted in open ground. So the flower will receive a second life. And your garden is additional landscaping. Do not forget that this shrub requires the formation of the crown and protection against attacks of aphids and spider mites.
