If you are buying a chrysanthemum, cons ider this: even though > ou would like the plant to be colorful on Thanksgiving, try to choose one that has just a few open flowers, but many buds. The plant will stay in bloom a longer time. Choose a plant that is full rather than sparse looking. When you bring a new plant into your home, it is going from that ideal greenhouse atmosphere into a comparatively harsh environment. It may help to place them in a fairly bright, but not sunny location for a few days before gradually bringing them into the bright sun they might need. If the plant looks as if it’s wilted, it may need a humidity boost. Spritz plants at least once daily. Feeding a new plant isn’t necessary. Most likely it has recently been potted in soil containing all the nutrients needed for good growth. You don’t have to feed again for at least four months. Do not immediately repot a new plant. Let the plant adjust to its new environment first, before fooling with it. The only time a new plant should be repotted immediately is if the pot is obviously too small.
