Revive Withered Chrysanthemums: Get Dozens of Colorful Winter Blooms!

• Chrysanthemums are perennial; preserve them for next winter by planting small shoots or 4-inch cuttings dipped in aloe vera gel.
• Cuttings root in 15-20 days; fertilize in March-April, keep in shade during May-June, and transplant to larger pots in August.
• Prepare soil with 5 parts soil, 3 parts sand, 2 parts compost for initial planting, then half soil and half compost for final pots.
• Regularly prune and pinch to encourage new growth and denser plants; use liquid fertilizer until October.
• Spray potash every 15 days from November to encourage bud formation for abundant blooms in December; ensure well-draining soil and 6-7 hours of sunlight.
