The flowers of the Globular Chrysanthemum are usually spherical, with dense and regularly arranged petals, and come in various colors such as pink, purple, and white.
If you want the Globular Chrysanthemum to reach a lush and full state, you need to take meticulous care in many aspects. Soil is the basis for the growth of the Globular Chrysanthemum. You should choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil rich in humus. A mixture of leaf mold, peat soil, and perlite in appropriate proportions can ensure the soil's breathability and water retention, providing a good growth environment for the roots of the Globular Chrysanthemum.
Secondly, lighting conditions are crucial. The Globular Chrysanthemum likes a sunny environment, but in the high temperatures of summer, moderate shading is needed to prevent the strong sunlight from burning the leaves and flowers. In spring and autumn, it should be ensured that it gets enough sunlight every day to promote photosynthesis and facilitate the differentiation and growth of flower buds. The control of temperature should not be ignored either. The suitable growth temperature for the Globular Chrysanthemum is between 15°C and 25°C. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm to avoid frostbite; in high temperatures of summer, take good ventilation and cooling measures to ensure its healthy growth in a suitable temperature.
During the vigorous growth period, keep the soil moist but not overly wet; in winter, reduce watering and keep the soil slightly dry to prevent root rot. Fertilization is the key to the vigorous growth of the Globular Chrysanthemum. During the growth period, apply a thin compound fertilizer every 15 to 20 days. Before the flowering period, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which helps promote the formation of flower buds and the blooming of flowers.
Regular pruning is also very necessary for the Globular Chrysanthemum to achieve a full pot. Timely pruning of dead branches, diseased branches, and spent flowers can not only maintain the beauty of the plant but also promote the germination of new branches and increase the number of flowers. To make the Globular Chrysanthemum achieve a full pot, you need to take meticulous care in aspects such as soil, light, temperature, water, fertilization, and pruning.
Candy Chrysanthemum and Globular Chrysanthemum have significant differences in appearance, growth habits, and application scenarios. In terms of appearance, the flowers of Candy Chrysanthemum are usually relatively small and exquisite, with loosely arranged petals and rich and bright colors. While the flowers of Globular Chrysanthemum are relatively larger and compact, with dense petals clustering together to form a round and plump sphere, and the overall flower shape is more regular.
In terms of growth habits, Candy Chrysanthemum has a relatively higher demand for light, adapting to a warm and sunny environment and having certain drought tolerance. Globular Chrysanthemum has a wider adaptation range for temperature and humidity, being able to grow well in relatively warm conditions and also survive in a certain degree of low-temperature environment.
The two also differ in the flowering period. The flowering period of Candy Chrysanthemum is relatively short and concentrated in specific seasons. The flowering period of Globular Chrysanthemum is longer, with better ornamental sustainability. In terms of application scenarios, because of its small and lovely appearance, Candy Chrysanthemum is often used for embellishing flower beds, flower borders, and the arrangement of small potted plants, adding a lively atmosphere to the space. Due to its plump flower shape and long flowering period, Globular Chrysanthemum is often used in large flower beds, flower shows, and other occasions, able to create a strong visual effect.
Pay attention to the above maintenance techniques and their differences to make the Globular Chrysanthemum bloom luxuriantly.
