Thanks to you all, David R, John & David H,

For the most valuable information on creating mums.
I have a large atrium in my house and there is clear perspex
in the overhead roof. It gets very bright in there.

I am certainly going to try the techniques suggested.
Much appreciated.

Michael

Hello Gardeners,

In South Africa Chrysantheums are almost the most popular indoor
flowering potplant. While I have been very successful with many other
plants, I have never been able propagate Mums satisfactorily. The 2nd
set of flowers are trivial.

My gardening book says the following
"To produce the compact plants often bearing 20 or more blooms
requires special production techniques involving artificial shortening
and lengthening days"

Anybody who knows something about this ?

Thanks,
