Third, how to grow Milan flowers best

Milan likes to be moist and should be watered properly during its growth. If too much watering, easy to lead to rotten roots, leaves withered off; flowering period too much watering, easy to cause falling flowers and buds; watering too little, it will cause leaf edge withered, withered buds. Therefore, when the summer temperature is high, in addition to watering water 1 / 2 times a day, branches and leaves are often sprayed with clean water and sprinkled to the ground to improve air humidity.

1. The temperature should be suitable.

Milan likes warmth. The higher the temperature, the more fragrant the flowers will come out. Generally speaking, when the temperature is above 30 ℃, the flowers will smell good when exposed to sufficient sunlight. On the other hand, in the environment below 30 ℃, if they are in the shade of insufficient light, the flowers will not have the fragrance when the temperature is high. To cultivate Milan, the suitable temperature ranges from 20 ℃ to 35 ℃, and can blossom up to 5 times between June and October.

2. The light should be sufficient.

Milan should be in a sunny place all the year round. If Milan is placed on a well-lit and well-ventilated garden or balcony, and the light is more than 8 hours to 12 hours a day, it will make the leaves of the plant green, the branches grow stout, the number of blossoms more, the color of flowers bright yellow, and the aroma more intense. If Milan is left in a sunny and shady environment, it will make the plant branches and leaves grow and thin, reduce the number of blossoms and lighten the aroma.

3. Fertilization should be reasonable.

Milan blossoms strongly and blossoms many times, so it is necessary to replenish nutrients in time. Every time Milan blossoms, we should pay close attention to replenishing nutrients. The lack of fertilizer is the main reason why Milan only grows leaves but does not blossom or falls leaves and buds. Therefore, when the temperature rises, Milan should move to outdoor conservation. After a week, it will loosen the soil, apply some thin nitrogen fertilizer, use 10% to 20% rotten cake water or human feces and urine, and then apply liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so to promote the growth of its branches and leaves.
