    My chrysanthemum has very brittle petioles. The petiole breaks when I keep leaf in my hand. And the chrysanthemum has many dried leaves. What the reason is for that?:cnfs:

    :scratch: Maybe too much nitrogen in early growth... Maybe a dose of liquid silica would help..... :scratch:

    dried leaves - not enough water or unable to taake up water through root system
