This is why experts advise against placing mums near nightlights or streetlights. The light may interfere with their normal growth cycle. The plants may develop buds too soon.
In climates where temperatures fall below freezing, plant mums at least six weeks before the first frost is expected.
Placing mulch around the plants can protect them from the cold. Consider using straw or shredded leaves for the mulch. The material will also add nutrients to the soil.
Some gardeners say the most beautiful presentation comes from planting mums close together. But be sure to leave enough space to let air flow between the plants. If not, there may be a greater chance of disease.
To get more blooms, gardeners pinch back the branches when the new growth has reached 15 centimeters. Squeeze about five to seven centimeters off each branch. Pinch it again when a branch grows another 12 to 15 centimeters. Stop the pinching about 100 days before you want the plants to bloom.若想培育出最佳的菊花充足的光照必不可少，当白昼缩短而夜晚变得漫长之时，盛开的菊花便会呈现出五颜六色、各自不同的景象。菊的生命周期与日照量息息相关，因此专家们建议不要让菊接触到月光和街灯，否则这些光线将影响菊的自然成长周期，造成菊花盛开过早。
对于冬季气温低于冰点的地区而言，种植菊花需至少在霜降前六周左右播下菊种。
秸秆或枯叶可以用来做护根，铺在菊的根部帮助菊抵御严寒，同时也能增加土壤养分。
园丁们认为，菊花最美丽的景象来自于簇拥而抱的菊花丛，因此赏菊时可将菊花密密而立。不过，千万别忘了为菊茬留下足够的空间以保证花蕾间的空气流通，否则菊花容易生病。
为了让菊开出更多的花蕾，园丁们通常在菊茬长到15厘米的时候掐掉它的枝叶，每枝掐去5至7公分，枝叶每长12至15公分还需掐摘一次。想让菊茬开花时，只需在开花前100天左右停止掐枝即可。
