Chrysanthemums, camellias, and azaleas: master these and you can easily control their flowering time

Many flower growers are especially eager to learn how to control the flowering period. In fact, as long as you make reasonable use of factors such as light, you can control when your flowers bloom. Take the following flowers as examples.

Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are short-day plants. Under short-day conditions, they can bloom early. If you want them to bloom early, you can regulate the flowering period by adjusting the length of daylight.

For a robust chrysanthemum plant, when its young shoots are 9-12 cm long, give it nine to ten hours of daylight each day, then cover it with a black plastic bag. After thirty to forty days, flower buds will form. Then remove the bag and increase water and fertilizer, and you can see the chrysanthemums bloom early.

Camellia

For camellias, you can regulate the flowering time by adjusting the temperature. If you want to delay the flowering time, choose a late-blooming variety and lower its temperature.

Cover the whole plant with a mat for cold protection, then place the wrapped camellia in a cold storage room at about 2-3°C, and give it a little weak light for 6 hours a day. This way, its flowering time can be delayed. (Reply "camellia" on the WeChat public platform of Yanghua Zhijia to get more care knowledge about camellias)
