The Chrysanthemum Red (Jamanthi), often known as Jamanthi or Shevanti in India, is a popular and relatively easy-to-care-for flowering plant. The care for the red variety is the same as for other colors of the Indian Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum).

Here is a comprehensive guide to caring for your RChrysanthemum Red (Jamanthi) :

Aspect Care Requirement Key Tips
Sunlight Full Sun (Minimum 5-6 hours) Provides the energy needed for dense growth and abundant, vibrant blooms. Move to partial shade during the hottest part of the day in very harsh summer conditions to prevent scorching. Avoid planting near nighttime lights, which can disrupt their blooming cycle.
Soil Well-Drained and Fertile Use a sandy loam mixture rich in organic matter (compost, well-rotted manure, or leaf mold). Excellent drainage is vital, as they are very sensitive to root rot from waterlogging. A soil pH of 6.0–7.5 is ideal.
Watering Consistent and Moderate Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Water deeply, especially container plants, until water drains from the bottom. Avoid wetting the leaves and flowers; water at the base of the plant to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew.
Fertilizing Regular Feeding During Growth 1. Growing Phase (Spring/Early Summer): Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., NPK 12-6-6 or a cow manure application) every 4-6 weeks to promote lush foliage.
2. Blooming Phase (Late Summer/Autumn): Switch to a high-potassium and phosphorus fertilizer (like bone meal or a tomato feed) to encourage strong, large flower buds. Stop all nitrogen fertilizer when buds appear.
Pinching/Pruning Essential for Bushiness Pinching: When new shoots reach 6-8 inches tall, pinch off the top 1 inch (or the main growing tip). Repeat this every 2-3 weeks until mid-July to promote dense branching and more flowers.
Deadheading: Regularly remove faded, wilted flowers to encourage the plant to produce new buds and extend the blooming period.
Temperature Moderate Climates The plant requires a high temperature (–) for vegetative growth, but cooler temperatures (–) and shorter days trigger flowering (this is why they bloom in late autumn/winter).
Pest Control Monitor Regularly They can be susceptible to aphids, spider mites, and fungal diseases (especially in humid conditions). Ensure good air circulation and spray weekly with an organic pesticide like neem oil if pests are detected.

Special Indian Context Tips :

 

  • Summer Heat: In the intense Indian summer, be prepared to move potted Jamanthi plants to a spot with partial or afternoon shade to protect them from scorching.
  • Propagation: Jamanthi is easily propagated. After the flowering season, you can take terminal cuttings (5-7 cm long) from healthy stock plants and root them, or you can separate suckers from the base of the main plant. The rainy season is often the best time for cuttings.
  • Support: The branches can become heavy when full of flowers. Use bamboo sticks or stakes to support taller varieties to prevent the stems from breaking.
