Choose soil: Chrysanthemums prefer sandy soil that is rich in humus, loose, fertile, and well-drained. When transplanting, you can add an appropriate amount of manure.

Transplanting: When transplanting, you can lay a layer of screen in the drainage hole of the flowerpot to prevent soil loss, then place 1/3 of the prepared soil in the flowerpot, and then put the Dutch chrysanthemum and the soil ball in the middle of the flowerpot into the flowerpot, then compact the soil, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to allow the seedlings to grow slowly.

Temperature: Chrysanthemums love warm environments and can withstand cold weather. In the Northeast, they can be planted outdoors, but the leaves on the ground will wither and the roots can survive the winter.

Light: Chrysanthemums like sufficient light. When potted plants are grown indoors, they only need to be placed in warm sunlight and do not need shade in the summer.

Watering: Chrysanthemums prefer a dry and wet environment. During the peak growth period, water them more often. If the weather is too dry, spray water to increase the humidity.

Fertilization: Chrysanthemum can grow in poor soil, which shows that chrysanthemum is not very demanding on soil fertility. We can apply diluted water-soluble fertilizer every 15 days during the growth period of chrysanthemum.

Pruning: During the growing period, it is suitable to prune the chrysanthemum in time, which can promote the chrysanthemum to grow more side branches and bloom more flowers.

Pest and disease control: During the growth process of Dutch chrysanthemum, the main pests and diseases are powdery mildew, rust, and mosaic disease, which can be treated with 1000 times of 50% carbendazim solution. The disease is mainly caused by poor ventilation, so good ventilation is still necessary.
