    I choose chrysanthemums in the fall, but I plant them in the spring. In the fall, I write down the names of the varieties that I like, and then I look for information about them so that they take root in my climate.

    Chrysanthemum ages quickly. For 2-3 years it blooms magnificently, and then it grows strongly, the flowers become small. Therefore, cuttings of chrysanthemums from late May to September. Cuttings take root well, quickly become a beautiful and strong plant.
    You can also propagate chrysanthemum by dividing the bush in the spring, when frost has already been excluded. I dig a bush a little, clean it from the ground, separate the young with a sharp knife, plant it, slightly deepening the roots, water it abundantly.
    This flower loves light, non-acidic soil, good drainage (dampness can have a bad effect on its wintering). My chrysanthemum grows in a high flower bed, so water stagnation is not terrible for it.
    In chrysanthemum, the roots are located shallow, so I do not overdry the plant. With insufficient watering, the stems become coarse, the leaves and flowers - small, which greatly spoils the appearance of the chrysanthemum.
    Chrysanthemums tolerate partial shade well, but I grow in a well-lit area. After planting the plant and until July, I feed the flowers with water-soluble complex fertilizers intended for these plants.
    In August, I feed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. In the fall, after the end of flowering, I apply mineral fertilizers - under each bush, 3 tbsp. l. bone meal.

    Before freezing, I cut the bushes, leaving hemp high
    about 10 cm. In mid-October, I mulch with sawdust, needles or bark. I don’t use fallen leaves. they will get wet and the roots may rot.

      This procedure can be carried out throughout May. First of all, you need healthy cuttings 7-8 cm long with four developed leaves, one of which is removed. The base of the cutting should be neither hard nor soft, since the lignified tissue delays rooting, and the soft tissue is easily subject to decay.
      The safest way is to root the cuttings in aloe juice. From a 3-4-year-old agave, you need to cut off several lower leaves, wrap them in black paper and put them on the lower shelf of the refrigerator for 10 days. Then scroll the leaves in a meat grinder, and strain the resulting mass. For 30 ml of aloe add 1 tablet of heteroauxin, ground into powder. Cuttings are placed in this mass by 2-3 cm. When using such a growth stimulator, which must be constantly renewed and thoroughly mixed, the roots are formed 1,5-2 times faster than usual.

      After that, the cuttings can be planted in a substrate of loose loamy soil, river sand and humus (20: 10: 1).

    Chrysanthemums can be propagated by dividing the bush, or by cuttings. To do this, you need to select the mother bush in the fall, which will give healthy offspring.
    It is better to dig this bush and transplant it into a container (basin or bucket), bring it into a cool room - a basement, a glazed balcony, into a heated greenhouse or greenhouse. In the spring, put the container with the bush in a warmer, well-lit place, water and feed.
    When the sprouts grow up, you need to cut them off carefully with a clean blade and plant in the prepared substrate. It is recommended to use peat tablets for these purposes, which should be pre-soaked in boiled water.
    Cardboard egg trays are well suited for rooting, only you need to insert them one into one so that they do not get wet ahead of time.
    Then put a peat tablet in each cell and plant chrysanthemum cuttings there. Place trays in large plastic bags and close tightly.
    Once a day, cuttings need to be ventilated, accustoming them to open air.

      - This is a solidaster (Solidaster) - a natural hybrid of aster and solidago. It is often called beaded aster. Blooms profusely and for a long time from the middle of summer. If old inflorescences are removed, new ones appear until late autumn. Flowers withstand the first frost. Only prolonged rains can spoil the picture. The plant is unpretentious, winter hardy. The only condition is landing in a sunny place. In the shade, the stems stretch out, the flowers (and so small) become even smaller. The bush loses its decorative effect. In a bright place, it looks great! Over the years it grows and looks like a light yellow cloud.
      May lie down in windy weather. Therefore, adult plants need support, especially for higher varietal plants, for example, in the Lemore variety, the height is 90 cm, and in Super - up to 1,3 m.
      The solidaster is propagated by dividing the bush (every 4-5 years in spring or autumn, after flowering) and seeds. Since they are light-sensitive, do not cover with soil.

    Not once had heard how the landlords proudly talk about the fact that they have just huge bushes of chrysanthemums. Yes, and grow, despite the weeds and thickets of other flowers. These owners of mansions and cottages do not realize that chrysanthemums do not need such freemen. Sooner or later it will lead to fungal diseases of flowers.
    The problem is that if you give chrysanthemums freedom, you will not be able to notice the signs of diseases and help. But these plants, despite their durability, are also susceptible to various diseases.

    Another chrysanthemum does not like places (de water stagnates. And in the shade it feels out of place. If there is not enough lighting, the flowers stretch out, becoming thin and brittle. Besides, they shrink over time, which affects their beauty. At the same time and will bloom later than those chrysanthemums that are grown according to the rules.

    Advise what measures need to be taken so that the chrysanthemums do not become shallow. What leads to this is wrong care or improper air temperature?

      Hot summer and the beginning of autumn complicate the care of chrysanthemums. Under these conditions, it is necessary to monitor the soil moisture: if it is low, the shoots will become hard, and the flowers can chop. Therefore, it is necessary to water the plants abundantly and loosen the soil beneath them.

      In order for blooming chrysanthemums to please you as long as possible with their wonderful view, be sure to remove dried flowers and leaves. And in order for this plant to grow lateral shoots with new buds well and create splendor during flowering, the chrysanthemum must be periodically pinch. If too many buds appear on it that do not open for a long time, then some of these inflorescences are removed, so that the others will open up faster and be larger.
      And one more important note. During the growth and development of chrysanthemums need to monitor the appearance of diseases and pests. If the summer is cold and the fall is early, the chrysanthemum will not have time to bloom in the open field. Then it is worth to pass it into the pot, bring it into the house where flowering will soon begin.

    Chrysanthemums can be broken
    To keep flowers in a bouquet from my own garden for a much longer period of freshness, I cut them off early in the morning or in the evening, after sunset, making an oblique cut on the stem with a knife. I do not recommend cutting the flowers with scissors, as their blades crumple the stem of the plant.

    Dahlias and cyclamens should be cut only when they open. All other flowers can be cut with buds. But autumn flowers - chrysanthemums are generally better not to cut, but to break off.
    I immediately put flowers in water at room temperature, clearing the lower part of the stems from the leaves, and keep them in a dark place for at least two hours, and preferably all night. And only then I make bouquets of them, which cost a very long time.

    My dwarf chrysanthemums bloom profusely every year. I diligently take care of them, but also in open ground and in pots (I keep them in a cool room in winter), the petals become like dirty, faded, untidy. Why? How to deal with it?

      - Chrysanthemums are light-requiring, therefore they develop well and bloom only with sufficient light. Your flowers are most likely affected by septoria. This fungal disease is manifested mainly in the leaves, but it can also appear on the buds and inflorescences, which turn yellow and look dirty, as if fading.

      Remove any yellowed infected petals from plants, reduce watering (the soil in the pot should not be very wet, but make sure that the sub-
      the stratum was not very dry). Treat the fungicide Fundazol flowers (according to the instructions). Regularly ventilate the room where there are pots of plants. You can try planting chrysanthemums in several containers in a mixture of sod and humus earth (1: 1) with the addition of a small amount of sand.
      Another possible cause of septosis is an excess of nitrogen nutrition. Therefore, do not abuse feedings.

    The aroma of the chrysanthemum is peculiar - slightly bitter, with a touch of wormwood and marigold, while fresh and not devoid of floral tenderness.
    My chrysanthemums bloom in late autumn. If buds do not open and flowering does not occur, then during the development period the plant did not receive the required amount of light.

    Chrysanthemum loves the coolness and fresh air, so I have it grows well and blossoms in a ventilated room with a temperature of no higher than + 18 degrees. In the heat (above + 25 degrees.) The plant is bad and little flowers, buds wither. In the summer I put chrysanthemums in the loggia, where they are until the autumn.
    Grow beauties in the purchase ground. Abundantly water them as the substrate dries up, often sprinkled: in the summer - every day in the evening, in the winter - 1-2 times a week. I feed from spring to autumn once a week.
    The main enemies of chrysanthemum are aphids and spider mites. To get rid of pests, I spray the plant with soapy water (1 tbsp grated laundry soap for 1 l of water), leave for 10 min., Then rinse with clean water from the spray gun. Soil in the pot during the procedure I close the package. I process every 7 days.
    Decoction of onion husks protects the plant from pests and serves as a fertilizer: 1 handful pour 2 l water, boil 5 min., I insist under the lid 2 hours. I water once a week.
