During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the traditional customs of admiring the moon and eating mooncakes, admiring chrysanthemums is also one of them. Chrysanthemums are deeply loved by people for their character of defying frost and cold and their rich and colorful forms. Today, let's step into the world of chrysanthemums.
Chrysanthemum multicaule:
As the name suggests, Chrysanthemum multicaule has immaculate white petals and a crystal-clear texture. Its flowers are small and delicate, with layers of petals. Under the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chrysanthemum multicaule is even more fresh and refined. Chrysanthemum multicaule likes sufficient sunlight but can also tolerate a semi-shaded environment. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it can be placed outdoors or on the balcony to receive full sunlight or half sunlight. Keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged is the key. As the temperature gradually drops during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the watering frequency can be appropriately reduced to avoid excessive water causing root rot. Apply a thin compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer once a month during the growth period to promote plant growth and flowering.
Dendranthema morifolium 'pompon':
Dendranthema morifolium 'pompon', as its name implies, has flower shapes that are very similar to table tennis balls. It is one of the very popular chrysanthemum varieties in recent years.

The spherical flowers of Dendranthema morifolium 'pompon' give people a round and lovely feeling, conveying the joy and happiness of harvest. During the growth process of Dendranthema morifolium 'pompon', it needs to be pruned in time to remove weak branches, diseased branches and overcrowded branches to promote ventilation and light transmission of the plant and improve the flowering quality. Check the plants regularly and spray pesticides in time to prevent and control pests and diseases when they are found. The climate is cool during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is conducive to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Change pots and soil every spring or autumn. Loose, fertile and well-drained soil is preferred.
Aster novi-belgii:
It has strong cold resistance and can maintain a good growth state even in the cold autumn. Therefore, there is no need for special warmth preservation measures during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
