Pruning of Culture methods of Milan Flower

The new branches and leaves of Milan grow very fast and need to be pruned frequently to keep the plant beautiful as a whole. It takes a little skill to trim the Milan flower. How to cultivate and prune Milan flowers?

1. Soil: Milan flower is suitable for fertile, loose, humus-rich slightly acidic sandy loam. The culture soil is made of 50% compost, 25% rotten leaf soil and 25% river sand, and the basin bottom can be covered with rotten cake fertilizer.

two。 Fertilization: turn the basin and change the soil in spring, watering less in the first half of the month, in order to promote more new roots. The sunshine should not be too strong at this time. After that, thin fertilizer solution is applied every 7 to 10 days, and water is often sprayed on the leaf surface and the ground to keep the leaf surface clean and the environment moist.

3. Summer care: summer should be placed in the sunny place, with sufficient water and fertilizer, especially phosphate fertilizer, to promote exuberant growth and pregnant buds. If there is too much shade and too much nitrogen fertilizer, it will result in fewer flowers, light fragrance or even no flowers. But midsummer noon should be shaded so as not to burn the leaves.

4. Autumn and winter nursing: stop fertilizing after autumn and reduce watering, so as not to cause defoliation and rotting roots caused by excessive dampness. Winter management in Milan is very important. Before the severe cold in winter, you should move into the greenhouse or the room to the south, and the temperature should be kept at 10 to 12 degrees. If you encounter a continuous low temperature below 5 degrees, it is easy to suffer frost damage. Put it in front of the sunny glass window in winter to avoid the wind, but pay attention to proper ventilation, reduce watering, stop fertilization, and heat up indoors in the coldest days, that is, you can survive the winter safely.

5. Pest control: the main pests are aphids and red spiders. 40% dimethoate can be sprayed with 1000-2000 times water.

After Milan pruning, the plant can continue to sprout lateral branches, which can make the plant crown luxuriant and dense.

3. Summer and autumn pruning: pruning in summer and autumn is mainly to cut short the overgrown branches, and to remove the inner chamber branches, disease and insect branches, withered branches and weak branches, which is conducive to ventilation, the centralized supply of nutrients to other branches and the flowering of Milan flowers. of course, pruning should be combined with shaping, so as not to affect the plant shape.

4. Pruning after flower fade: Milan flowers should be pruned and pruned properly in the central part, which can promote the germination of a large number of new branches, which is conducive to the growth of the plant in the second year.
