Nothing marks the onset of falling like buying Potid mams To line my Porch stairs in frontI like to go to nursery (or costco), raise two or three most beautiful colors, and install them to the more autumn and welcome from the front of your house.
But one thing that I do not like about the potted mams is how quickly they dry up and fade before the weather ends. So last year, I learned a super-like trick that ensures that my mummies last long in the season.

First thing you should do with mams
The first thing you need to do when you reach home with your mummies, a bucket of water fills, and put your mummies (still in the nursery pot!) So that they can soak them. It only works when the pot has drainage holes, which is why it is best to use the nursery pot that comes in it.
I like to leave myself in the bucket for 15 minutes to half an hour, then they are ready to make a place in a decorative planner.
Because the potted plants dry so easily, it helps to set the mams for the rest of the season, giving them an initial absorbation. You definitely want to do Keep them well in water Later, but so longing my mums, they are distinguishing how long they are walking.
I have seen, since learning this trick, my mummies do not show the same stress, willing, or dropping during falling as before, and the flowers live for a very long time.

Choose a healthy mam on the store
There are some things that you should look at the store while shopping for Mams. First of all, know the difference between Hardy Mams (which you can put in the ground and they will return next year),
Keep them well in water
Along with other potted plants, the potted mums will need to get out of the water regularly so that they can be prevented from drying. Give you water at least twice a week, soak them a good absorb, and consider giving them more often if you inform them to dry more quickly.
Do not keep mams in full shade
We all like mummy on our porch, but if your porch does not get at least six hours of sunlight per day, then your mums will start suffering.
Be sure to put them on their stairs or on the front edge of your porch, rather than far, to make sure they are receiving enough sunlight. Otherwise, they can get legery and lose their flowers.
