How to cultivate melon and leaf chrysanthemum skillfully?

Don't call it rich chrysanthemum and cucumber flowers. The leaves are as large as melon leaves, green and bright. Flowers terminal, heads mostly aggregated into corymbose inflorescences, inflorescences densely covered at the top of the branches, often pot-bottom shape, rich colors, except yellow, there are red and white complex colors.

Soil: the soil that grows melon leaf chrysanthemum should use sandy soil with humus and good drainage, neutral and slightly acidic soil.

Watering: keep enough water, but the basin soil should not be too wet, so the usual watering should be based on the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, and it should be watered again after drying, about once every 2-3 days, and the foliage can be sprayed with clean water once a day.

If the weather is hot, we can spray water on the leaves to lower the temperature and increase the humidity of the air. After the bud appears, it is necessary to control the watering, and put the flowerpot in a cool place of 8-12 ℃.

Illumination: melon and leaf chrysanthemum prefer sunshine during the growing period, so it is not suitable for shade. It is best to put it on the sunny window, and sometimes turn the flowerpot to make the branches and leaves receive light evenly.

Temperature: the growth of Chrysanthemum morifolium is the best under the condition of 15-20 ℃.

Fertilization: in addition to applying base fertilizer when planting, melon and leaf chrysanthemum is applied thinned cake fertilizer every 7-10 days during its growth. After the appearance of flower buds, it can be increased by 1-2 times the solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Fertilization continues until flowering (don't apply fertilizer on rainy days).

Remember: don't get it on the leaves when fertilizing. Wash them immediately if you get them.
