watering

Chrysanthemums need 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation. Water deeply allowing the soil to dry before watering again. If planting in containers, use a pot with adequate drainage holes and with enough soil to retain moisture. Make sure not to water too frequently, as soggy soil can cause root rot.

sunlight

Chrysanthemum 'Pumpkin Igloo' prefers full sun or at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This amount of sunlight is best provided in the early morning and late afternoon to prevent plant burn due to intense heat. Place the plant in a bright spot and make sure the plant is exposed to sunlight for a significant part of the day.

pruning

Chrysanthemum 'Pumpkin Igloo' is best pruned in late March or early April, before the new growth begins. To ensure optimal flowering for the season, a good rule of thumb is to remove about 1/3 of the existing shoots from around the center of the plant. This will help to promote a branched, compact shape that should provide a more profuse bloom. If needed, a light pruning can also take place after blooming, focusing on removing dead flower heads and any excess foliage.
