Maintenance methods and precautions

1. The soil should be loose, breathable and fertile
As a herbaceous flower, blue-eyed chrysanthemum requires loose, breathable and well-drained fertile soil for potted maintenance. It is recommended to use general-purpose nutrient soil for planting. When potting, you can add a sufficient amount of fermented organic fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer as base fertilizer.
Blue-eyed chrysanthemum seedlings should be transplanted with the original soil ball. If the original soil ball is broken up and transplanted, the blue-eyed chrysanthemum may become wilted and difficult to survive. After transplanting, you should water it thoroughly and place it in a soft light place to slow down the seedlings. Then water the pot soil again when it is dry.

2. Maintain adequate lighting
The blue-eyed chrysanthemum seedlings will be in normal condition after three days, and the light can be gradually increased to full sunlight. It likes sunshine very much and should be kept in full sun or half sun in spring, autumn and winter. Pay attention to shading in summer.

3. Water appropriately and fertilize properly

Normal watering should be done dry and thoroughly. Before watering, pick up the flower pot and water it if it feels light and light. Or you can water it if the surface of the pot soil turns white. Blue-eyed chrysanthemums grow and bloom rapidly in spring and autumn and require a large amount of fertilizer and water. Care should be taken to maintain sufficient fertilizer and water and avoid drought.

Blue-eyed chrysanthemums are relatively resistant to barrenness and do not require much fertilizer. However, if you want blue-eyed chrysanthemums to continue blooming, regular top-dressing is recommended. During the spring growth period, it is recommended to keep it for 7 to 10 days and apply a general growth fertilizer once. After entering April, blue-eyed chrysanthemums begin to produce a large number of flower buds. At this time, it is recommended to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every 5-7 days. Sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can make blue-eyed chrysanthemums grow longer buds, bloom larger, and have brighter colors, and the flowers will appear when they bloom. No leaves are visible, achieving the effect of bursting the basin.

Blue-eyed chrysanthemum is a variety that blooms and grows buds at the same time, so top dressing should be continued during the flowering period. Keep enough fertilizer and water so that blue-eyed chrysanthemums can bloom one after another.

When the weather is hot after summer, top dressing can be stopped. After autumn, blue-eyed chrysanthemums enter a period of vigorous growth again. At this time, water-soluble fertilizer should be resumed and applied once every 10 days. After winter, the temperature gradually drops, and the frequency of fertilization can be reduced to once every 15 to 20 days.

4. Proper pruning

If you want blue-eyed chrysanthemums to continue blooming like pots, pruning is essential. In autumn, winter and early spring, when blue-eyed chrysanthemums grow crown width, attention should be paid to topping at this time to promote the growth of side branches and increase crown width.

In addition to pruning during the growth period, when the flowers of the blue-eyed chrysanthemum bloom and fall, the remaining flowers should also be pruned in time, because the blue-eyed chrysanthemum will grow seeds. If the seeds are produced, a large amount of nutrients will be consumed, which will affect the flowering of the blue-eyed chrysanthemum again. .

By the end of May and June, the plant type of blue wood chrysanthemum may grow taller. At this time, you can perform a pruning to dwarf the plant. Also preparing for summer. Pruned branches can also be used as backup. Blue-eyed chrysanthemum seedlings are relatively more resistant to heat and cold.

If we want the blue-eyed chrysanthemum to have a full crown and bloom large flower balls in spring, it is recommended to overwinter indoors and keep it warm so that the blue-eyed chrysanthemum can continue to grow.

When entering the house to overwinter, you should pay attention to maintaining sufficient light, and at the same time, topdress growing fertilizer once every ten days to promote the growth of branches and leaves.
