Those beautiful mums looked amazing when you brought them home. After a while, maybe they've lost a little of their zest? Give them the VIP treatment and don't let them go full zombie before Halloween hits!
- Deadhead: Pinch off those spent, dead blooms (we call this deadheading). It encourages the plant to put all its energy into the other areas of the plant that are still flowering.
- Water: Did you know the number one reason fall mums look sad is because they're thirsty? Treat your mums like tiny autumn divas and give them a good drink every day. Maybe even twice on a warm, sunny day!
- Soak: Don't just sprinkle the top! Make sure the water actually soaks the whole pot. If the pot feels light, it's probably parched!
- Light: Ensure your plant is getting 4-6 hours of partial to full sunlight a day.
Follow these simple tips and you'll have a shining star on your porch or patio all fall long!
