watering
Chrysanthemum ‘Yoraquel’ RAQUEL is a hardy perennial, so is quite easy to take care of. During the growing season, it needs to stay moist, with weekly watering should be adequate. Water until the top 2-3 inches of soil is moist. The soil should not be soggy – if it is, let it dry out a bit then water again. During the winter, water very sparingly and only when completely dry. Some browning or wilting may occur during the winter, which will usually reverse once the temperatures warm.
sunlight
Chrysanthemum 'Yoraquel' RAQUEL is a sun-loving plant that benefits from at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. If possible, place it in a spot where it receives unfiltered sunlight in the morning, and filtered indirect light in the late afternoon. This will enable the colorful blooms to remain vibrant all summer long. In areas with especially hot summers, moving the plant a few hours later in the day or providing partial shade during the hottest hours can benefit it.
pruning
Chrysanthemum 'Yoraquel' RAQUEL should be pruned back in late winter to early spring, usually after the last hard frost. Pruning should be kept to a minimum, with only shoots from the previous season routinely removed. Pruning back flower buds in the early spring will help the plant produce larger and more vibrant blooms later on in the summer.
