Other names for the white chrysanthemum

Growth habits of the white chrysanthemum

The white chrysanthemum likes a sunny and cool environment; in an environment with insufficient light, it blooms poorly and is prone to withering and dying.

The white chrysanthemum is cold-tolerant but not heat-tolerant; the most suitable temperature for growth is 15~25°C. In winter it can safely overwinter at -5°C, but if it stays at -5°C for a long time in winter, the leaves are easily damaged by frost, drying up and turning yellow; however, as the temperature rises, it will gradually recover, form buds, and bloom.

The white chrysanthemum does not like a hot and humid environment; when the temperature rises in summer, the flowers will gradually fade, and above 30°C it will grow poorly, so it should be placed in a cool and ventilated environment, which can appropriately extend the flowering period.

The white chrysanthemum is highly adaptable and is not very picky about soil (not picky, but it still has requirements); it is suitable for planting in loose, fertile sandy soil. Keep the soil moist at ordinary times, and during the growing season apply a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer once every half month.

The white chrysanthemum has a relatively long flowering period; when it blooms, supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in time, and after the flowers fade, promptly cut off the spent flowers to promote the sprouting of new buds.
