Mums, also known as chrysanthemums, are beautiful flowering plants that add vibrant colors to any garden or indoor space. Whether you have potted mums or planted them in your garden, proper care is essential to keep them looking great throughout the season. In this blog post, we will provide you with some valuable tips to help you maintain healthy and blooming mums.
Before we dive into the care tips, it’s important to choose the right mums for your space. Look for plants with deep green, healthy leaves and many more buds than open blooms. This indicates a strong plant that will continue to produce beautiful flowers throughout the season.
Mums thrive in sunny areas, so it’s crucial to place them in a location that receives at least four hours of direct sunlight per day. Ideally, they should get around 4 to 6 hours of sunlight1. Find a window in your home that allows plenty of sunlight to shine through and position your mums accordingly.
Proper watering is key to maintaining healthy mums. While you don’t want to over-water them, it’s important to keep the soil moist. Check the soil regularly and water when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the soil become too dry, as this can be detrimental to the plants’ health.
