How to sow chrysanthemums successfully under cover?
To sow chrysanthemums under cover, choose quality seeds and a light, well-drained soil. Sow the seeds on the surface in cups or boxes, without burying them, and pack lightly. Water sparingly to keep the substrate moist but not soggy.
Place the containers in a bright, warm place, at a temperature of around 18°C. Be sure to aerate regularly to prevent mould from forming. The seeds should germinate in 2 to 3 weeks.
After emergence, continue to monitor the humidity of the potting soil and provide light. When the plants have developed a few leaves, transplant them into individual pots filled with a potting soil rich in organic matter.
The seeds should germinate within two to three weeks.
Once the risk of frost has passed, you can plant your Chrysanthemums in the ground, in well-prepared, sunny soil. Keep the soil cool and add an organic mulch to protect the roots and limit weeds.
