Chrysanthemum (Guldaudi) Planting Guide Mastery

Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant that flowers when nights exceed 13 hours. By controlling the timing of the final pinch, you control bloom date: pinch 70–80 days before your target market date. For Diwali blooms, pinch around August 10–15. This precision is what separates profitable commercial growers from casual ones.
