Melon leaf chrysanthemum is a kind of perennial herbaceous plant, which is a common potted flower, also known as rich chrysanthemum, which has high ornamental value, variety and bright color, so it is one of the most popular flower plants in autumn and winter. And it is not a simple thing to raise it. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and precautions of melon and leaf chrysanthemum with Xiaobian.

1. Selection of basin soil

The pot for cultivating melon and leaf chrysanthemum had better choose the mud pot of moderate size and good air permeability, and add the nutritive soil made of sandy loam, sawdust and cake fertilizer according to 6:3:1 in the flowerpot. When potting, it is necessary to cut off all the lateral buds of Chrysanthemum morifolium, which can reduce the loss of nutrients, promote its root growth and improve the survival rate.

2. Light and temperature conditions

Proper light and temperature are the basic requirements for the cultivation of melon-leaf chrysanthemum. Melon-leaf chrysanthemum is a light-loving plant, which should not be illuminated for less than 3 hours a day during bud gestation, so that it can have rich leaves and bright flowers. But because it likes temperature but can not bear high temperature, it is best to control the temperature at 10-15 degrees, not less than 5 degrees or 25 degrees, otherwise it is not conducive to its flower bud differentiation.

3. Watering

Melon leaf chrysanthemum likes to grow in a humid environment, but the growth environment should not be too humid, otherwise there will be rotting roots, because the leaves of the plant are hypertrophic, so it is best to keep the basin soil moist during the growing period, and often spray water to keep the leaves moist. Usually keep the principle of non-dry watering and watering thoroughly, and reduce watering when the temperature is low in winter.

4. Fertilization

In the growing period, thin cake fertilizer water or compound fertilizer solution is generally applied every 7-10 days, if the two are used alternately, the rotten fertilizer liquid can be applied every two weeks after planting, mainly rotten bean cake, but also diluted with water, so as to avoid root injury by thick fertilizer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times in the budding period without nitrogen fertilizer.

5. Points for attention

The budding period of melon-leaf chrysanthemum in January in winter, when the daytime temperature should be controlled within 20 degrees, this is also a critical period for melon-leaf chrysanthemum, so it is also necessary to increase fertilizer and water management. Ammonia dihydrogen phosphate can be applied to the basin to provide nutrients, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the leaves, which can also maintain nutrients for the plant.
