Plant height — Chrysanthemum indicum

Chrysanthemum indicum L.

Plant height is a key morphological indicator for Chrysanthemum indicum, determining its market purpose and cultivation technology.

In the reference 37 varieties crop Indian chrysanthemum, where this is mentioned in the description.

In variety testing, height is measured from the soil surface to the growth point or the highest flower. Values vary from compact forms (20–40 cm) used in pot plant production to tall varieties (70–150 cm) intended for cut flowers.

This trait determines agronomic practices: for potted varieties, growth inhibition is critical, whereas cut flower varieties require long stems. To control height, pinching, photoperiod management, and light intensity regulation are used, as insufficient light leads to shoot elongation. Tall varieties require planting density control and the installation of supports due to their tendency to lodge.
