How to trim the chrysanthemum?

Pruning and shaping chrysanthemum: timely coring can promote the development of lateral branches and reduce plant height. The time and frequency of collecting hearts of potted plants vary with different artistic shapes. Households in northern China usually raise potted chrysanthemums, leaving 4-7 flowers, and 4-5 leaves for coring after chrysanthemum seedlings are planted. When the lateral branches grow 4-5 leaves, 2-3 leaves are reserved for each lateral branch for the second coring. But dahlias need to be picked six to nine times.

Many axillary buds will germinate in the strong seedling stage of chrysanthemum, so you need to pinch them off with your fingers in time, otherwise it will consume a lot of nutrients and grow many small branches with small flowers, which will make the plant look chaotic. During pregnancy, lateral buds sometimes appear on the branchlets below the terminal buds. Except for special cases, the lateral buds should be removed with tweezers as soon as possible to promote the hypertrophy of the terminal buds.
