A Complete Guide to the Key Cultivation Techniques for National Day Chrysanthemums
I. Potting. The cuttings can be potted once they have 3 to 4 roots.

A Complete Guide to the Key Technical Points for Establishing an Apricot Orchard for Kernel Production
Apricot trees are fruit trees that love sunlight, tolerate drought, and fear waterlogging and frost, so an orchard should be established on a sunny, high, and dry site; it must not be established on shady slopes, waterlogged lowlands, or valley bottoms where cold air easily settles. Apricot trees are long-lived fruit trees; generally even 100- to 200-year-old trees still bear heavily, so the planned row and plant spacing should be somewhat large. However, to meet the need for early high yields, temporary trees can be set up when the orchard is established, and gradually thinned out or transplanted as the trees age. The row and plant spacing for the permanent rows can be designed at 4 m x 6 m, and for temporarily densified orchards at 2 m x 3 m; by around 10 years of age the temporary trees should be dealt with in time.
