A brief introduction to the ecological habits and planting techniques of Milan flower

Ecological habits of Milan flower

Milan flowers prefer warm, humid and sunny environment, not cold-resistant, slightly shade-tolerant, the soil is the best in loose and fertile slightly acidic soil, and the winter temperature is not lower than 10 ℃.

Milan likes to be warm, sunny and fat. The suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃. Under normal circumstances, when there is plenty of sunshine and a high temperature (about 30 ℃), the flowers will have a strong fragrance. If it is put in shade in summer and a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer is applied at the same time, it is one of the main reasons why Milan does not blossom or blossom less and has a light fragrance. Therefore, during the period of growth and development, Milan needs to be maintained in a sunny place outdoors, and it is necessary to pay attention to applying more liquid fertilizer containing more phosphorus, and it is best to apply crushed bones, fish bones, chicken bones and so on. Often auxiliary application of more phosphorus-containing chemical fertilizer or fermented rice water, etc., are conducive to pregnant buds, and blossom more, golden color, fragrance.

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. At the same time, fertilization should also be appropriate. As Milan blossoms more often in a year, after each blossom, we should fertilize 2-3 times of fully mature thin liquid fertilizer in time, so that it can blossom continuously and have a strong aroma. Milan likes acid soil, so it is appropriate to choose rotten leaf soil as the main culture soil in pot cultivation. During the peak growth period, 0.2% ferrous sulfate solution is sprayed once a week, and the leaves are green and flowers are numerous.

Cultivation techniques of Milan flower

Cultivation environment

Potted Milan seedlings pay attention to shade, avoid strong light exposure, wait for seedlings to grow new leaves, fertilize once every 2 weeks, but the amount of water must be controlled, should not be too wet. In addition to the midsummer noon shade, there should be more sunshine, so that Milan not only blossoms more times, but also has a rich fragrance. The area north of the Yangtze River must be moved into indoor maintenance in winter.

Pots use loose, well-drained and well-ventilated soil. The basin was changed once in 1 ~ 2 years, and fertilized once in 1 ~ 2 weeks during the growth period. There are many gardens in the south, and potted plants in the north should be planted in places where the outdoor sun can directly shine in spring, summer and autumn. The winter moves into the room where there is direct sunlight, and the overwintering temperature is above 10 ℃.

After flowering, the adult mother plant will produce a small red fruit oval like the fruit of Kudong tree. When the fruit is reddish brown, soak the fruit in warm water and peel off the fleshy peel, then sow the seeds in the sand basin with picking, and germinate after sowing in summer and autumn for about one month. Seedlings can not blossom until 2023, unlike those propagated by high-altitude striping method.

Overwintering management

Milan is of tropical origin and is not resistant to low temperatures. Generally, during the period from Frosts Descent to the Beginning of Winter, you will move into the room and put it on the sunny windowsill or desktop. The indoor temperature should be kept at 8-10 ℃, with no less than 5 ℃. If the temperature is too high, tender shoots will grow, reducing adaptability and cold resistance. The plant should not be close to the stove or hearth; the temperature and humidity can be adjusted by using a plastic cover, but one or two cracks need to be cut at the top of the cover to avoid excessive temperature and humidity and affect normal growth.

The basin soil should be watered when it is dry, but not fertilized. When the weather changes suddenly and the indoor temperature drops below 5 ℃, special measures should be taken to keep warm, such as moving the potted flowers under the table at night, covering the table with cloth curtains and padding grass curtains to keep warm; you can also cover the pots with plastic bags and remove the cover curtains the next day when the sun comes out and move the potted flowers back to the same place from under the table. Where you put it in Milan, you should not open windows for ventilation, so as not to damage the plants by the cold wind.

The mode of propagation of Milan flower

Milan breeds with cuttings, high branches, or sowing, preferring warmth and plenty of sunshine.

Pressing strip

To high-altitude strips, in the plum rain season to select annual Lignification branches, 20 cm at the base for annular peeling 1 cm wide, with moss or peat applied to the girdling site, and then tied up and down with thin film, 2-3 months can take root.

Cuttage

About 10 cm of top shoots were cut from June to August, inserted into peat, and began to take root 2 months later.
