On the balcony suitable for novice planting flowers - chrysanthemums
"Chrysanthemum" is a former name
In Japan, several plants have been circulating in the market under the name "Chrysanthemum", and white chrysanthemum and citrine chrysanthemum are familiar varieties.
Both plants are native to Africa and are sold in stores under their former name , Chrysanthemum" ( " . The Moroccan daisy "apricot jam", a perennial variety that has bloomed pink flowers in recent years, is also known as "Chrysanthemum".
Both chrysanthemum and citric chrysanthemum are annual herbaceous plants with branches on the stems that stretch in all directions and bloom many flowers. In addition to the horizontal extension of the white crystal chrysanthemum, the stem will also stand upright. The stem of the citrine will only lie on the ground and will not stand upright, so the plant height will not be too high.
Citrine
Grow in a well-lit place
Both plants are suitable for cultivation in the sun. Winter frost or freezing may freeze the buds, so avoid places with northerly winds and snowfall, and cover them with a cold cloth to prevent frost. In contrast, astix is even less hardy.
Usually sown in September and October, the price of the flower seedlings is close to the people, so it is also possible to buy flower seedlings directly for planting. Planting is suitable for October-November or March, and should be planted into pots as soon as possible after purchasing flower seedlings. Gently loosen the root system while planting. Plants of white crystal chrysanthemum and citrine can grow very densely, so at least 1 plant is spaced apart when planting. The soil can use soil for herbs and flowers, in which about 30% of the red jade soil is mixed to improve soil drainage and air permeability.
Both plants are afraid of high humidity and need to wait for the soil surface to dry before watering. Excessive fertilization can lead to stem lengthening, so a small amount of slow-release fertilizer for the flowers is sufficient. If the stem grows too lush, it can be shaped and pruned to adjust the plant type where there are new shoots left.
These two plants are basically free of pests and diseases, but may be infested by slugs and aphids, and should be repelled with agents such as insecticides.
