BELGIAN MUMS®
CULTURAL INFORMATION
WHY GROW BELGIAN MUMS®?
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR URC’S?
Belgian Mums® are the finest breed “garden” type mum on the
market today. There is over 30 years of breeding and testing behind
the Belgian Mum® name. They grow well in any container size from
a market pack to ½ bushel. Belgian Mums® have a great mounding
habit and will be covered with an uncountable number of flowers
because they branch better and more often than other mums. This
is also the reason Belgian Mums® are so flexible and can be sleeved
or put pot to pot on shipping carts without worry of breakage or loss.
When your cuttings arrive you will notice a white powder on the
bottom of each unrooted cutting, this is a rooting hormone and it is
applied at time of harvest for best rooting results. No other rooting
hormone application is necessary.
WHAT TO DO WHEN CUTTINGS ARRIVE?
Belgian Mums® can be ordered as rooted or unrooted cuttings.
All boxes should be opened and inspected immediately. Place
open boxes in a cooler at about 40°F. Plant rooted cuttings in your
finished container or stick unrooted cuttings in a cell tray as soon
as possible. Do not store mum cuttings in a cooler longer than 2 to
3 days.
FEATURE
BENEFIT
1. Superior Breeding
The best varieties on the market
2. First “no pinch” Mum
Save labor and easy to grow
3. Flexibility
Easy to ship without breakage
4. More Flowers
Better show and sales at retail
5. Ball Shaped
Consumers and growers first choice
‘Mum Lighting” is recommended, regardless of time of year, during
the entire rooting period. Mum lighting is defined as 10-20 foot
candles of incandescent light at plant level for at least 4 hours at
night to keep plants vegetative. Soil temperature needs to be kept
between 70-72F during the rooting process.
You can root your cuttings directly in the final pot or stick them in
plug trays for rooting. It is very important to stick cuttings into moist
soil and mist them regularly. Starting day 1 to 4, mist for 10 sec
every 8 minutes. Days 5 to 9 mist 10 sec every 15-20 minutes. Days
10 to 14 mist 10 sec every 30-60 minutes. Reduce amount of mist
gradually in the second week until plants are fully rooted. Excessive
misting and low light after root initiation will result in decreased
quality and stretching. You may need to syringe rooted cuttings 2-3
times per day under sunny conditions and low humidity to prevent
premature budding.
We recommend that you use this as a guideline only and adjust your
mist schedule based on light and temperature conditions in your
greenhouse.
Fertilize twice during rooting with a solution of 20-10-20 or similar
fertilizer at a rate of 200-250 ppm. Rinse cuttings with clear water to
avoid tip burn after fertilizer application. A broad spectrum fungicide
drench can be applied with the first feed but is not necessary when
you start with healthy cuttings.
64
AFTER ROOTED CUTTINGS ARRIVE OR URC ARE
ROOTED. DEEP PLANTING OF BELGIAN MUMS.
Before you are ready to start planting have your finished pots
completely filled with media. Partially filled pots are unacceptable.
Make sure media is evenly moist throughout the entire pot, not just
the top few inches.
The perfect Belgian mum plug is 17-18 days old and 1.5” tall from
the soil level. Plant rooted or direct stuck unrooted cuttings deep
so the bottom 2-3 leaves are covered with soil and the grow tip is
even with the rim of the pot. The shoots emerging from the soil will
provide additional support to the plant. Immediately after planting
feed with 300 ppm of 20-20-20 or similar fertilizer rich in phosphor
and ammonium-based nitrogen. This will promote roots development
and help to build a strong plant base. Remember a strong, healthy
root system is a key to growing a superior finished plant.
Do not let your mums completely dry out during the first few weeks.
You may have to syringe your crop for the first few days to prevent
wilting.
MEDIA
Most of the soilless media available on the market are suitable for
Belgian Mum® production. Do not use a media with any type of water
retaining gel, this will only create root disease. For outside grown
crops with overhead irrigation you may consider incorporating
controlled release fertilizer in the media to ensure steady supply
of nutrients.
Weekly soil tests are recommended to maintain correct fertilization
program. Try to maintain a soil pH of 5.8-6.2.
SPACING
Spacing will very from grower to grower depending on finished
pot size and your target sales market. We recommend for the best
results that the foliage never touch each other. A good indicator
for the distance between plants is to base the calculations on the
expected diameter of the plant plus 2”. Below are our recommended
spacing examples:
POT SIZE

PLANT
SPACING
*Proper spacing will prevent tall ‘stovepipe’ growth, yellow foliage,
disease and un-saleable plants.
LIGHT AND PHOTOPERIOD REQUIREMENTS
During the first few weeks of growth, keep the plants evenly moist
but not soaked. Later in the season if plants look slightly wilted in
late afternoon there is no immediate need to water them, they can
easily get through the night. Water them thoroughly next day in the
early morning.
Avoid fluctuations between too wet or too dry. Try to water the plants
on a regular basis in order to prevent excessive drying. On the other
hand over watering will only cause root disease and a poor finished
plant.
A Belgian Mum® will do most of its growing between sunrise and
11 a.m. This is why it is important to irrigate in the early morning to
get the maximum growth. If plants are dry in the morning make sure
to irrigate thoroughly and evenly. This means that some of the water
or feed should drain from the bottom of each pot. This is also to help
prevent any salt build up.
FERTILIZATION
Belgian Mums will require considerable amount of well balanced
fertilizer with micronutrients to finish properly. There are 2 stages
of mum development.
®
Belgian Mums® grown in full sun will have the best quality. Long
days are necessary for vegetative growth and short days are needed
for bud initiation and flowering of garden mums. Both spring and
summer lit/shaded crops will require night interruption during the
initial growth stage and blackout treatment before scheduled flower
date. Natural day crops will bloom from early September through
October.
IRRIGATION
Drip tubes or drip tape is recommended above hand watering or
overhead irrigation. Drip system helps to keep foliage dry and
prevents the spread of bacterial leaf spot.
The first is the vegetative period and accounts for the first 60%
of the plant size as well as 60% of the crop time. Shortly after
transplanting when irrigation frequency is lower we recommend
using higher rates; 300-400ppm of 20-10-20 or similar type of
fertilizer with each watering. Fertilizer rates should be reduced
when plants develop and irrigation frequency increases.
The next period is the generative growth or ‘flower development’
period. This accounts for the final 40% of your plant growth and
schedule. At this point a grower should switch to potassium rich
fertilizers: 15-5-30 or potassium nitrate at 250ppm until flower
buds are well developed. Once you see first color use clear water. If
vegetative growth is too slow, plants seem small or foliage is turning
yellow it is beneficial to occasionally apply 20-10-20 at 300ppm
during this period as well. Magnesium sulphate applied as a spray
before first color will make plants stronger, enhance color and
extend shelf life of Belgian mums.
Many large growers are being successful in producing garden
mums by using constant feed containing 80-100ppm nitrogen. This
method requires a very dependable injection system that will deliver
lower rates of well balanced fertilizer with each watering. Growers
should supplement minor elements when using professional
fertilizer mixes at low rates or plants could develop minor nutrient
deficiencies. A constant supply of Iron around 1ppm is especially
important in maintaining healthy plants.
The specially formulated fertilizers, like Mum FeED or Acid Special,
are very effective in lowering the soil pH and contain higher
percentage of iron chelate. As a result, the ability to maintain slightly
acidic pH throughout the growing season and making iron more
available helps to further reduce the overall fertilizer use and to
prevent minor element deficiencies.
For garden mums grown with controlled-release fertilizers choose
one of the newer types on the market that is less likely to release
solely on soil temperature. Use a 3-4 month release type and
incorporate 6-12 pounds per cubic yard of soil prior to filling your
pots or after transplanting as a top dress. Slow release fertilizer at
half rate could be used in combination with liquid feed. Use weekly
soil test results to monitor pH and EC of your crop and adjust feed
program accordingly.

BELGIAN MUMS®
CULTURAL INFORMATION
NO PINCH FOR BELGIAN MUMS
All Belgian Mums® have the ability to self-pinch and should be
treated as no pinch varieties. There is no benefit in pinching Belgian
Mums, by doing so you will increase the production cost and could
decrease the uniformity of the entire crop. If you decide to pinch for
some reason always do a “soft pinch”, removing only ½” or less
from the cutting tip. Pinching hard or pinching after July 15 may
delay flowering.
GROWTH REGULATORS
In most cases, if proper varieties are being used along with the
correct schedule, no growth regulators are needed. Smaller finished
products, such as market packs or 4”, may benefit from the use of
growth regulators. B-9 sprayed at 2500 to 5000 ppm will slow the
growth and a Bonzi drench at 2-3 ppm will virtually stop all growth.
The last PGR application should be no later than 2 weeks before
first color. Excessive or late applications of growth regulators will
delay flowering.
Florel will not increase branching in Belgian Mums® but is
recommended as a foliar spray during rooting and shortly after
transplanting outside to prevent premature budding. This treatment
is not necessary for indoor finished crops where growers have
ability to control environment. Florel may not abort existing buds in
garden mums but will prevent formation of new flower buds.
Fascination or Fresco could be used to promote shoot elongation on
garden mums only when other tools, including proper scheduling,
increased fertilization and watering, have failed. It is very important
to experiment with different spray or drench rates before applying
these products to the entire crop. Fresco applied as a drench will

PREMATURE BUDDING
produce more uniform response than as a spray. For best results,
growers should use low rates of Fascination or Fresco as soon as
the growth rate starts falling behind, rather then apply very high
rates at the end.
PLANNING
Before ordering your cuttings or even selecting varieties you need to
ask yourself the following questions: What is my desired flowering
date? What is my desired pot size or finished plant size? Will I order
rooted or unrooted cuttings? Is it for outside or inside grown crop?
Use blackcloth or natural day flowering?
We recommend that the diameter of your finished plant be 1.5 to
2 times the pot size. On average, starting with a rooted cutting, a
Belgian Mum® will grow 1.5” per week. Knowing this, if you want
your 6” Belgian Mum® to finish with a 12” spread you would need
to plant rooted cuttings 8 weeks prior to your desired finish date. If
starting with an unrooted cutting, you would need to add 2.5 weeks
for rooting.

Premature budding occurs when plants initiate flower buds before
they reach reproductive stage due to stressful environmental and
growing conditions. This will result in plants finishing short and
flowering too early. The following steps should prevent premature
budding even if you notice small buds on your starting material:
*Light cuttings during rooting – 4 hours of night interruption under
minimum of 10 foot candles of light.
*Avoid planting/moving natural day crops outside before mid-June.
*Maintain above 68°F in propagation.
*Never allow plants to dry during the vegetative stage.
*Feed with phosphor-rich fertilizer at 300-400 ppm right after
transplanting to promote vegetative growth.
*If unable to maintain proper temperature and lighting, spray
500ppm Florel 10 days after stick in propagation and again
before transplanting to keep plants from premature budding.
When starting from rooted cuttings, spray Florel shortly after
transplanting and reapply every 2 weeks, but no later than 8 weeks
prior to expected ship date for natural day crops, to avoid flowering
delays. For summer shaded crops Florel should be discontinued at
least 2 weeks prior to start of short days.
DEEP PLANTING OF BELGIAN MUMS
INSECT AND DISEASE
GroLink offers disease free, greenhouse grown cuttings that should
perform better then any other mums on the market. Thorough
monitoring of your crop, implementing IPM program and prevention
are the best defense options against insect and disease problems.
Since there is no good chemical control for Bacterial leaf spot
and Fusarium it is very important to use drip irrigation, sterilize
production areas, remove weeds and use healthy plant material.
The basic rules to follow and most common insects and diseases
of garden mums with recommended treatments are listed below:
*Diagnose the problem first and select appropriate pesticide.
*Always use labeled rate only.
* Make sure these products are available for use and labeled for
mums in your state.
*Always try first any new chemical on a sample number of plants
before treating your entire crop.
*Rotate different pesticide classes to avoid resistance.

OUTDOOR AND INDOOR
BLACKCLOTH PRODUCTION
OF BELGIAN MUMS®
THE CONCEPT
HOW TO DO IT?
WHAT TO USE?
Shading is necessary to produce Belgian mums for July and August
sales before the natural day season and it works by providing
artificially short days to induce flowering. The response time will
vary depending on variety and temperature. It is essential to provide
at least 12.5 hours of darkness (less than 2 foot candles) for the
period of 4-5 weeks to achieve uniform flowering of Belgian mums.
Above average night temperatures during extremely hot summers
will slow bud development and delay flowering so the blackout
must continue longer until visible color. Please refer to Black Stars
listing in this catalog that represents families/groups best suitable
for summer shading programs. Each Black Stars group consists of
varieties with similar vigor, growth habit and response time.
Black clothing could be done in a greenhouse or outside. In the first
2 weeks, when flower buds are triggered it is important to pull the
black cloth every night. After the first 2 weeks you can skip one
night in a week. In warm climates it is best to pull the black cloth
late in the evening or before sunrise and leave it on until later in the
morning to avoid trapping in excessive heat at night. The rule of
thumb is to start black clothing when the plant has reached around
50% of the finish crop size.
For shading outside we advise a woven material, so the wind and
rain can move easily through it, but black plastic could be used
successfully as well. The cloth can be laid on the top of the plants,
without any support or you can make a simple frame mounted
above the crop so the cloth can slide without touching the plants.
Using a black cloth material that has too many holes or splits will
result in uneven bud formation and decreased plant uniformity.

* Pull black cloth (7pm to 8am) for 5 weeks starting 6.5 weeks prior to expected first color
* Measure plants weekly and use graphical tracking for growth control, no PGRs or very low rates should be applied to Jasodas if growth control is necessary
* Plant rooted cuttings deep so the bottom 2-3 leaves are covered with soil and the grow tip is even with the rim of the pot
* Florel is not recommended for indoor production of Jasodas but if used for preventing premature budding discontinue 2 weeks prior to start of short days

HOW TO SAVE LABOR COST?
LABORATORY
GREENHOUSE GROWN CUTTINGS
SHIPPING
Mum netting is designed to prevent breakage of garden mums and
poinsettias. It is the best and least expensive method to eliminate
shrinkage in production and retail. Plants supported with green
netting ship and sell better and last longer in landscaping (figure
1). GroLink offers two different sizes of netting. The 17” size is
designed for use on smaller plants and the 23” size is for 12” and
larger containers. Each 17” roll of netting yields 2200 pieces and
the 23” roll approximately 1700 pieces.
Mum netting should be applied at first visible flower bud. This
usually occurs when plant reaches 60-70% of the final size so the
netting will be positioned 4-5 inches below top canopy at the time
of cracking color. Growers should expect 1-1,5” of growth per week
on Belgian Mums® after bud set (figure 2). Mum netting applied too
late (figure 3) will not allow enough time for plant foliage to cover it
or the net might sit too low if applied too early.
To minimize labor cost, we offer a re-winder/cutter that allows to
cut up to 5000 pieces of netting per hour (compared to 400 if done
manually with scissors). All pieces are arranged in one stack for
easy handling (figure 4).
GroLink is the only chrysanthemum producer always renewing
stock from certified material.
Garden mum cuttings from GroLink are greenhouse grown for
quality and uniformity. Climate control from a state of the art
computer system reduces crown budding.
Well-organized boxes of uniform cuttings are what you can expect
from GroLink plant company. Shipping boxes are insulated against
cold and protected from the heat with ice packs.
