Chrysanthemum 8” hanging baskets (Guldaudi)

For a full-grown multiflora chrysanthemum plant in a pot that has just started to flower, the gift care instructions are as follows:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Water directly at the soil level rather than on the leaves or flowers to prevent fungal infections. Water when the plant is truly thirsty, ensuring good drainage from the pot.
Sunlight: Place the pot in a location receiving 4 to 6 hours of morning sunlight daily. Avoid harsh afternoon sun especially when temperatures are high, to protect the blooms and foliage.
Feeding: Fertilize every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing and flowering season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support continuous blooming.
Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and spent flowers by snipping the stem about two inches below the flower to encourage new growth and more blooms.
Temperature: Protect the plant from frost and cold by moving it indoors or to a sheltered location if temperatures drop.
Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
