Growth habits of chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemums like sunlight, dislike shade, tolerate drought, and fear waterlogging. They grow well in a warm and humid environment, and in the severe winter season the rhizomes can overwinter underground. The flowers can withstand light frost, and the most suitable growth temperature is around 20°C.
Chrysanthemums like sandy loam with high and dry terrain, deep soil layers, rich humus, and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. They can grow in slightly acidic to neutral soil, with pH 6.2-6.7 being better.
Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant, and the daily sunshine duration must be less than 12 hours, though different varieties may vary slightly.
