2. Growth Characteristics & Cultivation Details
Ping‑pong chrysanthemum Green is a photoperiod‑sensitive cultivar. We grow it in Yunnan Province using advanced greenhouse techniques to achieve the perfectly round head and the 70–75 cm stem length.
• Cultivation region: Yunnan Plateau (1,800–2,000 m altitude). This region is world‑famous for Yunnan flower export because of its high UV intensity, cool nights (10–14°C), and low disease pressure – all critical for developing dense, incurved petals and maintaining the green pigment.
• Greenhouse environment:
· Day temperature: 20–24°C / Night temperature: 10–13°C – cooler than standard mums to encourage tight petal formation.
· Blackout screens used to create short days (10 hours light) for flower initiation. Long days (14 hours) for vegetative stem growth.
· Relative humidity: 65–75% to prevent botrytis on the dense flower heads.
• Stem length (70–75 cm):
We achieve this by planting at high density (approx. 40 plants/m²) and using a single‑stem system – all side buds are removed (disbudding) so the plant puts all energy into one terminal bloom and a tall, straight stem. Horizontal netting supports the stems vertically. This length meets the requirements of most European and Japanese auction grading systems and fits standard export cartons perfectly.
