Chrysanthemums are sun-loving plants. Although they technically require only 6 hours of sunlight each day, the more light they receive, the better their growth, bloom and hardiness. Slight shade in hot, summer afternoons is appropriate in warmer gardening zones to prevent scorching.

How do you take care of a potted chrysanthemum?

Caring for Chrysanthemums in Pots

Make sure to water them regularly. Water so the soil is kept slightly moist but never wet. It is important that he pot has good drainage holes so your plants do not sit in water. Make sure to water often.

Can I plant my potted chrysanthemums outside?

You might not have enough room for that indoors, but it will certainly work on your terrace! Which is great, because the Pot Mum loves being outdoors, as long as the temperatures are above freezing. Place the plant in a sunny spot and ensure you water it two to three times a week.
