Potted Milan cultivation method

Potted Milan likes warm and humid environment and sunshine, but it is not resistant to strong light and is very sensitive to low temperature. If the temperature drops below zero for a short time, the whole plant will die. When the temperature is 25 degrees, it grows vigorously and is suitable for planting in fertile, loose and slightly acidic sandy soil rich in humus.

Watering method

When potted in Milan, the soil must be kept moist, and the soil should not be too wet or too dry. When the air is dry, it is necessary to maintain a high air humidity. It is best to spray water on the leaves 1-2 times a day. In winter, plants need less water. The less water, the better.

Fertilization method

Milan grows vigorously and needs to provide sufficient fertilizer. In the growth period, it is better to top-dressing with decomposed cake fertilizer or sesame sauce residue water. The principle of diligent application of thin fertilizer should be mastered, and thick fertilizer should not be applied. Top dressing once every 7- 10 days, and a small amount of calcium superphosphate can be added to the fertilizer water, which is beneficial to improve the quality of flowers.

Pruning method

Yellow leaves should be removed in time during the growth period of potted Milan, or diseased, emaciated and withered branches and leaves should be pruned to reduce the loss of nutrients. Pruning the residual flowers after flowering can promote the next flowering and enhance the overall appreciation.

Matters needing attention in potted Milan

Potted Milan stems are prone to stem rot, which starts with small black spots and then develops into dark brown. At the early stage of the disease, the stem can be coated with Bordeaux solution, or Liu Shi solution or Tobru solution, and the effect is also good. Clean the diseased leaves in time, burn them centrally, pay attention to ventilation, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to improve the disease resistance.
