Use chrysanthemum cutting techniques well, and your home will be full of blooming chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemum cuttings differ from the hard cuttings of woody flowers such as roses, climbing roses, gardenias, and rose of Sharon. Chrysanthemum cuttings are called soft cuttings.

Chrysanthemum cuttings use the upper half of the branch and need to include the terminal bud.

How do you do chrysanthemum cuttings well? You must master the method properly.

Cut the chrysanthemum branch in the middle, and keep the upper half, about 20 cm long, as the cutting.

Each middle section of the branch should keep one leaf bud, and the top part should keep the terminal bud. Before cutting, soak it in rooting powder solution for about 2 hours.

It is better to use soil rich in humus. First water it to moisten the soil, then use a wooden stick to make a slanted hole about 7 cm deep, put the chrysanthemum branch in, and then press the soil firmly.

After pressing the branch firmly, spray water again, spraying it wet and thoroughly, and place it in a cool, ventilated place.

If it is placed in a spot with direct sunlight, you need to make a sunshade. Cover it during the day, open it at night, spray water often, and keep the soil moist.

After the leaf buds emerge, it can get some sunlight in the morning and afternoon, but it must not be exposed to strong sun at noon. After the cuttings have taken root, they can be transplanted and can get more sunlight. At this time, control watering. Do not water too frequently, to avoid overly fast growth.

Later care work needs to be done well. Take good care of your chrysanthemums, and they will fill your home with blooms.
