This year I am trying some incurve chrysanths as well as the sprays I
usually grow. Can somebody tell me if these should also be stopped as per
the sprays please? Many thanks
I think you want to know about stopping the plant to bet 3, 4 or 5
stems, then the answer is yes (and don,t forget to root the stem you
cut off and grow it as a single stem plant.) though I don't know the
stopping dates as they vary from varieties and location.

What ever you do DON''T remove the crown bud, that is for sprays, for
blooms you remove all but the crown bud.
If you dis bud down the stem, then if anything happens to the crown
bud as you are working you can always take a lower bud on even if the
flower is not of the quality of the crown bud it's still better than
nothing.
