Protected ground — Chrysanthemum indicum

Chrysanthemum indicum L.

Growing Chrysanthemum indicum in protected ground is essential for maintaining thermal conditions and precise photoperiod control, which influences flowering timing and plant morphology.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Indian chrysanthemum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Under protected ground conditions, day temperatures of 20–28 °C and night temperatures of 15–20 °C are maintained for Chrysanthemum indicum, which is critical due to the species' low frost resistance. Artificial regulation of the daylight period, maintained at less than 10 hours, allows for the control of flower initiation, plant habit, and inflorescence quality.

Cultivation technology involves the use of specialized refined substrates based on peat, perlite, and coconut fiber, as well as drip irrigation and humidity control systems. To achieve the market-ready appearance of cut or potted crops, intensive bush formation methods are applied, including pinching and side shoot removal, which ensures year-round production.
