In addition, removing the inner branches is beneficial to ventilation and removing the branches of diseases and insect pests, dead branches and weak branches. In order to concentrate nutrition on other branches, more flowers should be combined with plastic surgery; In winter, pests and diseases, weak branches and inner cavity branches are mainly removed to increase the light transmittance.
Milan pruning should be carried out 1 time when moving out of the house in spring, cutting off dead branches, diseased branches and fine branches, strengthening ventilation and light transmission, so that nutrients are concentrated on the left branch, thus promoting the plant's safety and flowering.
There is no need to prune during the growth period, only when the tree potential is unbalanced, the branches protruding from the crown are cut short. After pruning in Milan, the plant can continue to sprout lateral branches, which can make the crown of the plant lush and dense.

growing environment
I like warm, humid and sunny environment, not cold-tolerant, slightly shade-tolerant, and have wide adaptability to soil, but it is best to be in the deep, loose and fertile slightly acidic sandy soil, and the temperature in winter is not lower than 10℃. Often in sparse forests or bushes in low-altitude mountainous areas.
Milan likes warmth, sunshine and fatness. The optimum growth temperature is 20℃ ~ 25℃. Under normal circumstances, when the sunshine is sufficient and the temperature is high (about 30℃), the flowers will have a strong fragrance.
During Milan's growth and development, it needs to be maintained in a sunny place outdoors. Pay attention to applying liquid fertilizer with more phosphorus, preferably alum fertilizer soaked in broken bones, fish bones and chicken bones.
