how do i care for belgian mums?

Answer 1

Just water as needed. Breeders have been working more than 20 years to develop the new Belgian mum. It is different from the standard Garden mum in several ways.
*Is a shorter mum requiring no pinching to keep it compact.
*It combines the traits of a wonderful ball shape,
*Flexibility and high bud count from some of the best European Garden mums.
*In so doing they have improved the timing of the bloom so that there are early, mid and late varieties.
*They also have a better keeping quality and flower form.

Belgian Mums

Answer 3

There really isn't much care involved when dealing with Belgian Mums. They have many more flowers and sturdier stems than normal mums and don't require pinching. I would care for it like any other plant (watering etc.) and not worry too much :)

Answer 4

Both Brian and Excel have valid points.

Belgian mums are easy to care for, just like old fashioned garden mums.

What do you need to do to take care of them... it depends on what you expect them to do. Many many people plant mums as annuals to extend their flower season. So they are discarded after their flowers fade. Just keep them watered, and pinch off faded flowers and that's all.

If you want to grow them as a perennial, make sure that they receive a layer of mulch before the winter freeze. Cut back the dead branches around Thanksgiving, when they are dry and brittle or do it in the early spring before the sprouts start. In the spring fertilize them, follow the directions on the label of the fertilizer you use (I recommend ESPOMA 'flowertone').

Full sun to part sun. Be careful not to overwater!

I hope that this helps
Good luck-

Answer 5

Please do not breed your dog, especially since she is a rescue, and you probably know little to nothing about her background. Walk through an animal shelter, if you can look into the eyes of every dog that is cowering alone and afraid in those cages and be absolutely certain, so help you God, that no dog you ever bring into this world will ever be among them for any reason, EVER, for as long as you live, then you can be a dog breeder. CORRECT BREEDING: A person who breeds for the betterment of the breed, who tests for genetic disorder and disease and strives to reduce it's occurence through careful selective breeding producing puppies of a higher quality than the breeding pair for the purpose of improving the breed.
