1, blue chrysanthemums like warm, sunny and fertile soil, but they can also grow tenaciously in poor soil, high salt or dry environment. It should be noted that the stress resistance of different varieties of Saussurea is very different. Generally speaking, the leaves of Saussurea involucrata with strong stress resistance are stretched, the plants are prostrate, the colors are mostly purple, pink and white, and the flower centers are mostly dark blue.
2. Two propagation methods: sowing propagation and cutting propagation. Seed sowing is generally carried out in autumn and winter or spring, and cutting propagation is generally carried out in autumn and winter.
3. Because the flowering period of the current blue chrysanthemum varieties is relatively long, as long as proper watering and fertilization are maintained, the plants can continue to bloom, and the withered flowers do not need to be cut off, otherwise it is not conducive to fruit.
If you plant Saussurea involucrata in a container, you must keep the soil moist. Once the soil dries up, Saussurea involucrata will enter a dormant period, causing the buds to fall off and it will not be easy to bloom again in the future. Water it when it is dry, and don't water it too much. Too wet soil will lead to root rot.
