Chrysanthemum Plant

Buy the Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium), popularly known as "Mum" or "Guldaudi", online in Dubai and across the UAE from Souq Garden. Loved for its showy, long-lasting blooms in yellow, white, pink, purple, red, and orange, it brings colour and good fortune to homes, balconies, and villa gardens.

Why Chrysanthemum Suits UAE Homes

Chrysanthemums perform beautifully through the UAE's cooler season from October to April, producing spectacular blooms ideal for villa gardens, balcony containers, and indoor décor. They are popular for festive occasions and gifting, and as NASA-recognised air-purifying plants they help remove indoor toxins such as benzene, ammonia, and formaldehyde.

Key Benefits

Each plant blooms profusely for four to eight weeks, offering excellent value, while the cut flowers last well in vases for decoration. Beyond their beauty, Chrysanthemums improve indoor air quality and symbolise happiness, longevity, and prosperity in many cultures.

Care Guide

Chrysanthemums need five to six hours of bright indirect light or gentle morning sun, with protection from harsh afternoon heat. Grow them in a well-draining potting mix enriched with organic compost and perlite, and water only when the top inch of soil feels dry, keeping water off the flowers and foliage to avoid fungal spotting in UAE humidity. Feed every two to three weeks during the cooler growing and blooming season with a balanced or bloom-boosting fertiliser. The plant blooms best between 15 and 25°C; move it indoors when summer temperatures climb above 35°C. Deadhead spent blooms weekly to encourage continuous flowering.

Ideal Placement

Position Chrysanthemums on bright balconies, near sunny windows, or in sheltered garden spots that receive morning light. They make excellent container displays and tabletop arrangements, and can be moved indoors during the hottest months to keep blooms fresh.
