What to do to make a chrysanthemum grow in a ball and keep its shape: a simple trick

Chrysanthemums are beautiful flowers that many people associate with the fall season.

However, this plant is very picky and capricious. Growing it will not always be successful the first time.

Not everyone knows how to do it right and avoid mistakes when growing chrysanthemums.

How to grow beautiful bushes

Many gardeners are afraid to grow chrysanthemums, believing that they are beyond their ability. However, by avoiding standard mistakes, you can achieve stunning results.

If the chrysanthemum is small-flowered, it is best to make the bush compact and neat. To do this, in June, you need to break off the top of the plant.

As a result of pinching, many side branches will appear, and the flower will rush to grow in width, like a ball.

The cutting should be planted in a sunny spot. If your chrysanthemums grow near a fence under a tree, the bush will not form a ball. It will be loose and will fall apart during flowering.

If a chrysanthemum bush is not planted every spring, it will surely fall apart by autumn.
