Chrysanthemum Manual of the National Chrysanthemum Society

Product Information

The National Chrysanthemum Society of South Africa (NCSSA) was founded in 2003, according to Richard Williams, treasurer of the NCSSA. Though the club initially only had members from the Western Cape, they hoped that other provinces would also participate in competitive chrysanthemum growing, he says. PHOTO: Joel Ontong To grow a prize-winning chrysanthemum requires knowing how to mix soil with the correct ratio of minerals and when to add or subtract certain minerals, says Mentoor. Growers must also be keenly aware of the weather and its effects on the flower, he adds.

It is the second largest display of the flower outside of Japan.

These chrysanthemums either look like an artist's paint brush or a thistle. In the brush form the fine, tubular florets grow in an upright fashion, while in the thistle form the florets twist all around the stem or fan out in a horizontal manner.

Pointer Publishers, Jaipur, pp 165–188In ways like these, the growers help each other improve their craft, says Bernard Mentoor, who is part of PHIS and has been dubbed ‘the king of chrysanthemums’ by some growers. “We always help each other,” he says. Therefore, a good grower should be open to listening to other growers and be willing to learn, according to Mentoor.

The flower] is just like a baby. You must care for it, look after it, feed him with healthy food. And you must keep him clean,” he continues. Furthermore, chrysanthemums need to be regularly monitored and kept safe from natural enemies, which include various insects, he says. Chrysanthemum growers are serious about their craft because they are usually very experienced and knowledgeable, says Williams.
