How should garland chrysanthemum be planted? Planting methods for garland chrysanthemum

Although garland chrysanthemum is so common in our lives today, in ancient times only emperors could enjoy it, so garland chrysanthemum is also called the "emperor's vegetable." Previously we learned about the planting method for garland chrysanthemum seeds, so now let us learn about the planting method for garland chrysanthemum.

1. Timely thinning: garland chrysanthemum can emerge about one week after sowing. When the seedlings grow to 2-3 true leaves, thin them out. When thinning, do it directly by hand, pulling up the seedlings that are too densely packed, with a plant and row spacing of about 4-6 cm. Too sparse will affect the yield.

2. Transplanting method: when transplanting garland chrysanthemum, use a sickle to lift the seedlings, place them in a prepared basin, then transplant them into the prepared field, with a plant and row spacing of about 4-6 cm, then water thoroughly once, and apply a nitrogen fertilizer once 20 days after transplanting.

3. Water management: when growing garland chrysanthemum, pay attention to water management. Because temperatures are relatively low in winter and spring, watering should be properly controlled after emergence to prevent damping-off and downy mildew, and watering should also be done according to the condition of the seedlings, generally once every about 7-8 days.

4. Reasonable topdressing: when the garland chrysanthemum seedlings grow to 10-12 cm, apply topdressing once, and thereafter apply fertilizer once after each harvest. During the growing period, apply 1-2 applications of quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer with the water, using about 15-20 kg of urea per mu.

5. Harvesting: begin harvesting when the garland chrysanthemum plants reach about 20 cm in height and have 12-13 true leaves. It should not be too late, so as not to affect the quality. At harvest, use a sharp knife to cut at the base of the stem while leaving 2-3 leaves, remove the yellow leaves, and tie them into small bundles for sale.
