How to look after chrysanthemums

If it is good to pick up the range, then it is possible since August to cold weather to observe blossoming of chrysanthemums. They love places where there is a lot of light and there is protection against strong winds.

The most favorable soils are loamy, easily permeable and rich with organic matters. It is possible to grow up chrysanthemums and in the sandy soil. It is necessary to add only to it manure, peat, the compost earth. Also chrysanthemums well grow on peat bogs which have low acidity. Lowering of acidity can be carried out by means of bringing to the soil of nutrients.

The maintenance of batteries in the soil very much affects condition of chrysanthemums. Flowers are strongly influenced by availability of nitrogen. It makes impact on height of plants, the number of escapes, coloring of leaves, size of inflorescences. Unfortunately, nitrogen is easily dissolved therefore it can disappear at heavy rains or at abundant waterings.

During vegetation it needs to be given to flowers in the form of fertilizing. The optimum effect can be reached when mixing it with other fertilizers. For example, phosphorus well influences duration of blossoming and increases resistance to diseases. If its shortcoming is observed, then growth of plant considerably is delayed, leaves become more small, and sometimes at all dry up. It is difficult to dissolve phosphorus in water that is his merit. It is applied in the fall in the form of superphosphate. Quite good replacement to it – bone meal. Potassium is also very necessary. It influences growth and development of plant. Recommend to grow up chrysanthemums with small additives of sulfate potassium and chloride kaliyas change of the period of development also the need for water changes. Shanks during rooting need humidity of substrate at the level of 80-90%. Also consumption of large amount of water happens during growth. It is necessary to support soil moisture at the level of 70 percent.
