- I made sure to prune my my mums this year! Once your mums come out of dormancy they must be pruned and pruned well. It"ll take you minimum of 3 times to try and shape your plant. Don't forget to fill up your containers, prune and enjoy!

To propagate, take the cuttings/stems you are trimming off and just put them in a container of water. In a couple weeks you’ll see roots popping out. When the roots get some length to they, pot them. Very easy.
Wish I had found your channel last year. I planted my mum in the ground late last year and wasn’t aware I was even supposed to prune them much less 3 times before July 4th. It did happen to get pruned once thanks the help of my puppy who chewed part of it off. Lol It came back a little fuller but started flowering in April. I left it alone but later learned I should have pinched those buds off before they bloomed. To my surprise even though I didn’t pinch them off in April they are still blooming now in November.
I’m new to Pennsylvania. Just found you today on CZcams. Your awesome. Thanks for doing your video’s I just bought my first mums today. But have learning to garden here in PA for a year. I figured I would learn to garden here cause it’s moist in the air a lot and rain comes randomly.
Thanks so much for knowing a ton, sharing it and being so fun to watch! I’ll never forget when I realized that most ‘mums are perennials, and I was like, “Wait, what?!” That was the last time I threw a ‘mum out, but my care routine has been basically watering, and over the years they’ve gotten scraggly. I kept reading about pinching, but your time-lapse demonstration convinced me - OK OK, I’ll pinch! By the way, I’m sitting here staring at ‘mums that are blooming in late May - I read somewhere that you can let them, sheer them back and they should return in fall. Guess I’m gonna find out!
Hi 👋🏻 I saw your video last fall and put mines in the ground and they are doing so good!!!! Thanks.
Just came from your previous mums video - thank you for also doing a follow up! I love your energy btw. This is my first year living in a house with a yard & porch, so I bought mums to decorate but I want to see if I can get them to last for next year. This will be my first time gardening :) Thank you for all your tips!
Omg! Me too Jessica! This is my second season planting flowers. It's a lot to learn lol. 😅 but I'm enjoying it thus far. I loved this video.
Thank you! I'm Alaskan and I always see "you pick mums" signs by farms and I always thought "Yupik mums" and to this day I still giggle at that
That's an awesome name! 😆
Thank you, for this video. I am going to use this information to help me take care of the ones I already have.
I'm not paid by them, but Sluggo Plus gets rid of pill bugs and it's organic. Lovely video, thanks you for taking your time to show what happens when less pruning too.
Thank you for sharing this my first time it's early spring in Virginia and my mum s that I planted in the ground came back beautiful and I want to keep them that way so I don't have to buy any in the fall so thanks for the information.
I planted my chrysanthemums in soil/dirt in the ground. I did not pull them up or anything during the summer. I cut them back I deadhead them, etc. I even fertilize them. My question is now I dug them up and transplanted them into another yard. They look really good so far. When shall I fertilize them, it’s just March. We’re going into summer really fast here in North Carolina. Thank you.
Thank you for your video. I just got 2 mums today from the 50% off table. They are a bigger containers with 3 colors in them. I'm definitely going to try to overwinter them. They are in full bloom now so hope you keep posting so I can follow along. I'm always going to have to make something to put them in near my vegetable garden. Love your truthfulness and energy. Also going to go back to the clearance rack for more and try to propergate some.
Thank you! I’m in Texas. It’s my first year with them and it seems I am not going to be able to make it to beautiful bloom this fall. I did have pretty blooms in the spring and will keep trying for next year though
It's OK we try again with the next mums!🌻
I'm a new follower love your energy and I'm also adhd 😂
I have Roly poly’s everywhere. I still can’t decide if they are good or bad. They eat some plants but they also make good aeration pockets in my soil.
Great info and straight forward and true!
Hello from Tucson AZ
You are awesome!❤😊
Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing. I live in Queens, New York, and I'm starting to Chrysanthemums this spring. My plants will arrive in early April. What happens if you don't over winter? I read that Chrysanthemums can be winter hardy for zone 6, what would happen if I leave them outside in containers in my zone 7 environment?
It's a 50/50 chance of the plant coming back if not overwintered up in NY. The winter can be very harsh to the plant roots. In zone 7 just a very heavy mulch around the plant base should help keep it warmed up for winter. U can even use a cold frame or a simple plastic covering for a lil added protection but zone 7 is def better than 6 and below
I love thé examples
When I was bought the mums it does look good and then when they die and regrow they do look ugly and I never like no more. Maybe I will it another try. Trim, trim…. Thank you for sharing.
Happened to me too! Yes try again next time. Call it an experiment 😁
Hi! I just discovered you channel! I have ADHD as well, and I felt so related with you !
I own a little mum plant, but unfortunately, I repotted it in a bigger pot, and still, it thrived. Not as beautiful as I would have expected, but it’s giving me flowers from time to time. My problem is that here in Mexico, we don’t have the classical four seasons, I have lavenders and my mums blooming in winter! And my question is, how do I know or recognize the dormancy period ? Aaaaand about pruning, mine is kinda leggy… if I start pruning, can I have mine become short and bushy ?
Thanks for your videos !!
Welcome! Ha! I just germinated Lavender seeds cuz its winter right now here. It's still super warm where you're at right? Dormancy happens only in winter. What's your coldest times of the year? The shortened daylight hours is what signals the flowers to bloom. When my plants start to go go dormant the plant looks like it's dying.
Pruning your plant will def help the plant bush out. Ya got to keep cutting it. Cut one stem and it turns into 2 stems etc keep pruning until it widens out. Try to do this earlier b4 your fall period so the plant has time to produce flower.
What do you do for those rolly pollys (don't know how to spell it). I have them bad.
what is that blue flower at 2:57 time mark? thank you
How often should I water them if keeping them in a pot at the porch?
Hi
Whats a rolly polly
Which month is best month of cutting????
Depends on your zone. I'm in zone 6a/b border n have to start pruning early as I can to have enough time to keep bushing out. I cut at least a few times(3 minimum) so they need time to bounce back n grow
