Chrysanthemum (Mum)

(Chrysanthemum morifolium)

Mum plants with flowers in bud stages prefer a bright light near a sunny window. Mum plants with open flowers do well in a wide range of light conditions.

A moderately moist soil is preferred. Water it thoroughly after soil surface feels dry to the touch.

Moderate temperatures are ideal: 60-70 F (18-21 C) daytimes. Avoid excessively hot or cold areas.

Key tip for success: Placement of the Mum plant in a cool environment at night (50-60 F/10-15 C) will help to extend the flowering period.
