盆栽菊花高度控制在25～30厘米左右最为理想。一般的矮化法多为打头、摘心及药物处理等,对家庭来说比较麻烦,不易掌握。现将我几年来采用的简易矮化法介绍于下,供参考。 4～5月把菊苗插入4寸盆内(上年秋季插苗亦可),成活后于5月底6月初留3～4片叶摘心,促发腋芽。待腋芽长出后,选留3～4个粗壮、节间短的芽(独本菊可留1～2个芽),促其发育成主干,余者除去。到7月中下旬,定植在7～8寸盆中(盆内只装半盆肥土),浇透水,以后施肥浇水照常。现蕾后控制浇水(2～3天不浇水),使盆土偏干,等茎枝缺水变软后,只留顶端6～7片叶(10～12厘米 Potted chrysanthemum height control in about 25 to 30 cm is the most ideal. The dwarf method is usually the beginning of the first, topping and drug handling, etc., more troublesome for the family, not easy to grasp. Now I use the simple dwarf method introduced in the next few years for reference. 4 ~ May into the 4-inch pot of seedlings (the autumn of last year can also be inserted seedlings), after surviving in late May at the beginning of 3 to 4 leaves topping, leaving axillary buds. After axillary buds grow, choose to stay 3 to 4 stout, short internode buds (single Benju can stay 1 to 2 buds), promote its development into the trunk, the remaining removed. To mid to late July, planted in 7 to 8-inch pots (basin only half pots of soil), drenched water, after fertilization and watering as usual. After the budding control watering (2 to 3 days without watering), so that potting soil dry, and other stems and water softening, leaving only the top 6 to 7 leaves (10 to 12 cm
