Cultivation Tips
- Pinching (Stopping): To encourage more stems and fresh growth for more abundant flowering, it's recommended to perform two pinching procedures: the first between October and December, and the second in January. This practice helps manage the plant's height and promotes a fuller appearance.
- Sunlight: 'Wind Dancer' thrives in full sun. The plant needs at least 6 hours of sunlight each day, but also needs to be protected from high winds.
- Soil: Planting into well-draining, fertile soil incorporating organic matter can improve soil structure and fertility.
- Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during periods. However, avoid waterlogging, as chrysanthemums are susceptible to root rot.
Fertilisation: regular feeding during the growing season will support healthy development and abundant flowering.
