How to raise Milan flowers? Culture methods of Milan flower

Milan, also known as four Seasons Milan, is an evergreen shrub with golden flowers, round and beautiful tree shape and proper maintenance. It can blossom many times a year, and it blossoms at most and most fragrant from July to August each year. Milan is a very popular flower plant, which is fragrant when it blossoms and is placed in the living room, porch or study, refreshing and intoxicating.

In China's Yangtze River basin, Milan is a very easy to feed flowers, generally as long as placed in the outdoor sunny place, watering once a day, without special care can blossom fragrance. However, it has become one of the most difficult flower varieties in the north, and the key problem is the pH of water quality.

Because, Milan's acid-loving soil, such as alkaline soil or too high alkali content in watering, will cause its yellow leaves to dry up and even die. Therefore, if the north wants to raise good Milan, it really needs some hard work. So how on earth can we raise Milan well? What maintenance problems need to be paid attention to? Today, let's share some basic knowledge of how to cultivate Milan.

1. Acid loam was selected for planting.

Milan is particularly sensitive to the acidity and alkalinity of the cultivated soil and likes to grow in an acid sandy loam that is loose and breathable and fertile and drained. Therefore, the family potted Milan should choose pH5~6 's weakly acidic loam for planting. Do not use alkaline heavy, viscous soil planting. When raising Milan in the north, a small amount of ferrous sulfate 500 times diluent can be applied regularly in the basin soil, or a few drops of rice vinegar can be added when watering, which can improve the alkalinity of the basin soil and make the basin soil slightly acidic.

two。 Watering and fertilizing should be appropriate.

Milan likes to be moist, watering in the growing period should be moderate and moderate, and avoid watering too much, stagnant water in the basin, causing root respiration to be blocked, and rotting roots for a long time; do not water too much during flowering, so as not to cause falling flowers and buds, but not too drought. watering too little will cause leaf edge dryness.

Therefore, in the summer high temperature season, in addition to watering Milan every morning and evening, we should also spray the branches and leaves indefinitely and spray water on the ground around the plant to humidify and cool down; Milan likes fertilizer, and the growing season should apply thin cake fertilizer once a week, and appropriately increase the application of phosphate fertilizer, which can promote Milan to have more buds and flowers, and the aroma is more charming. Fertilization will be stopped at the end of September.

For the last fertilization, a compound fertilizer based on potash fertilizer should be applied once to supplement Milan's nutrients and enhance Milan's ability to resist disease and cold; although Milan likes fertilizer and water, after entering the house for the winter, when the temperature drops to 12 degrees Celsius, Milan enters a dormant period, respiration and transpiration have been reduced, at this time must not be fertilized, but also to reduce the amount of water, watering every 15 days can be.

3. Temperature and light are required.

Milan prefers a warm and sunny environment, not cold but slightly shady, the winter temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, which will cause frost injury; the suitable temperature for growth in Milan is about 20-25 degrees. Milan's cold resistance is poor, so it is better to move outdoors for maintenance from the end of April to early May every spring. We must not move out early for maintenance, because Milan is relatively weak after overwintering.

Spring temperature changes greatly, such as the late spring cold or northwest wind blowing, it is extremely vulnerable to wind-cold erosion, resulting in fallen leaves and even plant death, so do not move to the outdoor maintenance prematurely. Usually maintain Milan to be placed in places with plenty of sunshine, such as south balcony, south windowsill, courtyard and so on. But when the sun is strong at noon in summer, you still need a little shade to avoid burning the leaves and buds of the plant.

4. Ventilation should be done.

Milan flowers like good ventilation, strong soil permeability of the growth environment, therefore, in the usual maintenance process, to frequently open windows for ventilation, conditions can be placed in outdoor breeding; balcony maintenance should often open windows for ventilation to avoid muggy summer, high temperature, high humidity and airtight, resulting in poor breathing in Milan, leaves wilting and yellowing and falling off.

5. Timely pruning should be done well.

Milan nutrition to keep up with, usually maintenance and management in place, will grow quickly and exuberantly, can grow new branches 3 to 5 times a year, and will grow taller and taller; at the same time, will grow a lot of side branches, will also grow more dense, especially for family potted Milan, grow too tall and too dense, the room space is limited, so it is necessary to carry out timely pruning.

The method is to cut off the overlong branches at any time to make them dwarf, and to subtract the inner side branches and inward long side branches at any time to make the thinning density more reasonable, which is beneficial to ventilation and increasing light. Pruning branches can be carried out at any time, in line with beautiful and generous, round plant type is the best.
