How to fertilize Indian Chrysanthemum
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Indian Chrysanthemum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What's wrong with my plant? Help

Do I need to water if they are outside?

I’m a new planter and I love plants however I don’t have the most greenest thumb. I recently purchased these mums and placed them outside,so if they are outside do I still water them ? I live countryside and there is always dew and mist in the air. Do I still add water to Messi if they are outdoors????

Is it dead? I’ve had my chrysanthemums outside because they seemed to enjoy full sun. But now it looks like they’re burnt. Is it dead? Should I move to the shade? Will it bounce back? #OutdoorGrowing #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #FloweringPlants

Hey everybody! Just wondering how often you water your mums? I have 2 and they both get direct sunlight. The one on the front porch from sunrise until about 10am and the one in the back in the afternoon until sunset. Of course indirect sunlight otherwise.

Is there hope? Had her in a sunny spot with a drip system and she started to wither. So we watered less thinking it was too much water. Now I'm wondering if she was sunburned? I have her in a semi-shaded area now. Any tips? Very very new to gardening/plants and my thumb isn't exactly known to be green lol
