Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so good drainage is essential for healthy growth.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Lightly trim back leggy stems to promote bushier growth.

Prune back significantly in late autumn or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged material.

Easily propagated from seed sown directly outdoors after the last frost or started indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Seeds germinate readily in warm conditions.

Cuttings can also be taken from healthy stems in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist soil or perlite.

Tricolor Chrysanthemums are often grown as annuals and may not require frequent repotting.

If grown in a pot and it becomes root-bound, repot into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix in spring. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
