Plant Care - Chrysanthemum
Sunlight: Place your Chrysanthemum at a sunny spot with a cooler climate with good ventilation. Chrysanthemums will also grow in partial shade but may get leggy when reaching for sunlight. Shade-grown plants will have weaker stems and exhibit less flowering.
Water: Allow the top two inches of the soil to dry before watering. Ensure that the soil is thoroughly moist.
Soil: Chrysanthemum thrives in fertile, moist and well-drained soil rich with organic matter. Poorly draining planting sites can cause them to develop root rot.
Fertiliser: Fertilise your Chrysanthemum with a balanced soluble fertiliser with an NPK ratio of 20:20:20. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when fertilising.
