Chrysanthemums, or mums, are a genus of flowering plants in the Asteraceae family. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. These versatile plants come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colors, making them a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor gardening. Some varieties are compact and perfect for container gardening, while others are larger and ideal for garden beds.

• Water: Water your chrysanthemums regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

• Temperature: Chrysanthemums prefer cool temperatures. Protect them from extreme heat and cold.
• Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
