Chrysanthemum morifolium has large plant type, luxuriant flowers, gorgeous colors and rich fragrance, which can be used as potted plants to watch. Then how to grow chamomile? What are the characteristics? Then Xiaoqi introduced the method and morphological characteristics of chamomile.

First, the planting method of chamomile

The seeds can be sowed in the open seedbed in spring or in the hotbed or greenhouse in early spring. The optimum temperature for germination is about 15-20 ℃. After sowing, the soil cover should not be thick, it should be unearthed for about a week and sprouted neatly. After one transplant, the seedlings can be colonized when they have 7-8 leaves. In order to promote branching and blossom more, the heart can be removed for 2 or 3 times during the growing period. After sowing, after about 3 months of cultivation, it can begin to bloom, the single flowering period can be as long as 1 month, and each plant can blossom for 3-4 months.

Sowing and raising seedlings from February to March in the south and from March to April in the north. Sowing depth 0.3cm, keep the soil moist, keep the temperature 1530 ℃, emerge in 5 days, seedlings with 5 leaves can transplant with soil. Potted plants use pots with a diameter of 15 centimeters and 25 centimeters, 1 plant per pot, 60 centimeters between flower beds and field plants, and 20 centimeters between plants. Pour water thoroughly after planting, and then pour it again when it is dry. No stagnant water is left at the root of quick pouring. Drainage and waterlogging prevention in rainy season. It takes 50-55 days from seedling planting to flowering. Usually far away from the seedling root digging nest, burying rotten livestock manure or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium multi-element fertilizer, a small number of times. Red spiders and cabbage insects are easy to damage leaves or flowers in dry season and rainy season. High-efficient and low-toxic pesticide "kung fu" or "disinfestation" 1500 times liquid should be used to spray leaves and flowers.

Second, the morphological characteristics of chamomile.

Chamomile annual or biennial herbs. Stem erect, 20-120 cm tall, branches erect or obliquely ascending. Leaves long lanceolate to linear, up to 12 cm long, smooth or rough, entire, base narrowed, upper tip pointed, main vein obvious. Capitate inflorescences 2-5 cm in diameter, solitary at branch ends. The outer layer of involucral bracts is short, tiled, the inner layer is long, broadly lanceolate, the base is thick, the tip is acuminate, glossy, yellow or white, red, purple. Florets numerous; crown hairs subpinnately rough. Achenes glabrous.

Third, the main value of chamomile

Ornamental value: the color is gorgeous and bright, the flower shape and color remain unchanged for a long time after drying, it is most suitable to be cut as a "dried flower" for indoor decoration in winter. The method of collecting dried flowers is to cut the branches before the flowers are half-bloomed, remove the leaves and hang them upside down in a dry, cool and ventilated place. The dwarf variety of Chrysanthemum morifolium can be used as flower bed material or pot ornamental.

The above is the introduction of the planting methods and morphological characteristics of chamomile. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to cultivate chamomile. Friends who do not like potted culture can make chamomile into dried flowers.
