Pruning Your Chrysanthemums- It'll Take MONTHS!

I made sure to prune my my mums this year! Once your mums come out of dormancy they must be pruned and pruned well. It"ll take you minimum of 3 times to try and shape your plant. Don't forget to fill up your containers, prune and enjoy!

To propagate, take the cuttings/stems you are trimming off and just put them in a container of water. In a couple weeks you’ll see roots popping out. When the roots get some length to they, pot them. Very easy.

I’m new to Pennsylvania. Just found you today on YouTube. Your awesome. Thanks for doing your video’s I just bought my first mums today. But have learning to garden here in PA for a year. I figured I would learn to garden here cause it’s moist in the air a lot and rain comes randomly.

I do not subscribe to many channels, but you are so funny and you get right to the point and don't babble like some of these women do. I don't have time for all that babbling. I did subscribe to your channel. Hope you have a great day!

Wish I had found your channel last year. I planted my mum in the ground late last year and wasn’t aware I was even supposed to prune them much less 3 times before July 4th. It did happen to get pruned once thanks the help of my puppy who chewed part of it off. Lol It came back a little fuller but started flowering in April. I left it alone but later learned I should have pinched those buds off before they bloomed. To my surprise even though I didn’t pinch them off in April they are still blooming now in November.

Thanks so much for knowing a ton, sharing it and being so fun to watch! I’ll never forget when I realized that most ‘mums are perennials, and I was like, “Wait, what?!” That was the last time I threw a ‘mum out, but my care routine has been basically watering, and over the years they’ve gotten scraggly. I kept reading about pinching, but your time-lapse demonstration convinced me - OK OK, I’ll pinch! By the way, I’m sitting here staring at ‘mums that are blooming in late May – I read somewhere that you can let them, sheer them back and they should return in fall. Guess I’m gonna find out!

First year overwintering. A little on edge on what to do with it now since spring starts next week 😬 how exciting

[jessmyjetski]

Just came from your previous mums video - thank you for also doing a follow up! I love your energy btw. This is my first year living in a house with a yard & porch, so I bought mums to decorate but I want to see if I can get them to last for next year. This will be my first time gardening :) Thank you for all your tips!

[waterstar]

Thank you, for this video. I am going to use this information to help me take care of the ones I already have.

[ashleysmith]

Thank you! I'm Alaskan and I always see "you pick mums" signs by farms and I always thought "Yupik mums" and to this day I still giggle at that

[BerryBlessedandCovered]

Thank you again so much for this detailed video!! You’re adorable and so helpful!
What can be done to deter roly-poly’s?

Thank you for your video. I just got 2 mums today from the 50% off table. They are a bigger containers with 3 colors in them. I'm definitely going to try to overwinter them. They are in full bloom now so hope you keep posting so I can follow along. I'm always going to have to make something to put them in near my vegetable garden. Love your truthfulness and energy. Also going to go back to the clearance rack for more and try to propergate some.

I winter mine in a unheated greenhouse the icy wind causes branch die back. They all still bloomed thu the winter but not as heavy as when i first got them. I found out the original soil was root bound and didn't get much water right to the trunk. So i changed the soil to akadama and aquarium gravel, perlite, crushed red lava rock, and pine bark all equal parts. There now thriving much better.

I'm not paid by them, but Sluggo Plus gets rid of pill bugs and it's organic. Lovely video, thanks you for taking your time to show what happens when less pruning too.

Thank you for sharing this my first time it's early spring in Virginia and my mum s that I planted in the ground came back beautiful and I want to keep them that way so I don't have to buy any in the fall so thanks for the information.

I have Roly poly’s everywhere. I still can’t decide if they are good or bad. They eat some plants but they also make good aeration pockets in my soil.

I'm a new follower love your energy and I'm also adhd 😂

[ceridwengriffith]

I planted my chrysanthemums in soil/dirt in the ground. I did not pull them up or anything during the summer. I cut them back I deadhead them, etc. I even fertilize them. My question is now I dug them up and transplanted them into another yard. They look really good so far. When shall I fertilize them, it’s just March. We’re going into summer really fast here in North Carolina. Thank you.

[harry_s_on_youtube]

Thank you! I’m in Texas. It’s my first year with them and it seems I am not going to be able to make it to beautiful bloom this fall. I did have pretty blooms in the spring and will keep trying for next year though
