Belgian Mums are real sun lovers!
Your chrysanthemum is a real sun lover and requires a lot of sun. Place your Belgian Mum plant in a room with sufficient light, near a window or outside in the sun.
Buy a plant when the first flowers have already opened. In this way you make sure that you buy a colour that suits you. You can recognise a high quality plant by its green leaves.
The flowering time of most Mum plants starts in September. The Sooner you buy the plant, the longer you can enjoy a terrace of interior full of colour. This is the ideal way to extend the summer feeling by a few weeks.
Choose a nice flower pot that matches your terrace or interior as well as the MUM plant. Place your MUM plant in the pot and put it in a nice place where it will look its best or give the MUM plant as a present and make someone else feel happy.

A Belgian Mum plant is undemanding and withstands some drought, without the root ball dehydrating completely.
Give your Mum plant a little water on a regular basis. In moderation!
Because a Belgian Mum doesn’t like wet soil.
Never allow the bottom of the plant to stand in water.
Additional fertilizers are not necessary. A Belgian Mum plant has enough Mum power and sufficient backup fertilizer is present in order to allow the plant to flower over a long period.
Just like you and me, Mums don’t like wind nor rain. When placed outside choose a sheltered location with sufficient sunlight. In frosty weather conditions, it is best to keep your Belgian Mum indoors.
Then cut off the branches which have finished flowering just above the flower pot.
For some time only water a little occasionally. See tip 6 below.
New Mum shoots will develop. They are the basis of new Mum life.
We recommend repotting the plant. Remove part of the old roots.
Fill the pot with new potting soil.
See tip 7 below.
Hooray! When new shoots have developed, it is best to add some fertilizer when watering.
Regularly prune the new shoots, so as to develop sufficient branching.
And then there is once again enough Mum power… to enjoy!
