Milan is a typical southern plant with pleasant flowers and evergreen seasons. It's sunny. As long as there is enough direct sunlight in the growing period, Milan is a kind of woody flower plant that is easy to cultivate. However, in the process of maintaining Milan, many flower lovers always cultivate Milan with sparse branches and leaves, few flowers and light or no fragrance. So what caused these symptoms? Take this question and discuss it with the flower friends. I hope it will help those who need flowers.

Causes and solutions of sparse branches and leaves in Milan;
First, less pruning and less branching.
In general, Milan grows faster and has stronger branching ability. Through repeated pruning, Milan plants can have more lateral branches and fuller plant types. Lack of pruning during the growth period, especially in summer and autumn, is not conducive to promoting the germination of lateral branches, which will lead to fewer branches in Milan and thin and sparse plants.
Solution: Milan needs to be pruned repeatedly during the growing period. Pruning Milan can be divided into plastic pruning and post-flowering pruning, among which post-flowering pruning can also be an important part of plastic pruning. Milan should not be pruned after the first germination in spring. Branches sprouting in spring are the first flowers in summer. Premature pruning will affect the opening of the first flower in Milan when summer comes.
After the first flower blooms in summer, it needs pruning in time. Milan is blossoming. When the first bunch of flowers is in full bloom, it can be pruned again, 5 ~ 10cm below the inflorescence (the pruning point can be determined according to the plant type of Milan, and the "pruning position" of the branches that are too high can be lower, and the branches that are too short can only be pruned), so as to promote the branch to sprout new branches from the bud point below. Pruning can be carried out with the opening time of each bunch of flowers, and post-flowering pruning and plastic pruning can be completed at the same time. Pruning Milan can be done by the length of flowering time. Repeated pruning can make Milan's plants more and more full and no longer show sparse branches and leaves;

Second, the light is weak and the growth is slow.
Milan is a strong light plant, which needs plenty of direct sunlight during its growing period, and it is best to keep it in full sunshine. In the case of insufficient light, Milan will slow down the growth of the whole plant and weaken the ability to germinate. Even after repeated pruning, because the whole plant grows slowly, the ability of sprouting branches is poor. The whole plant will appear sparse branches and leaves for a long time, and the plant type is loose.
Solution: Lighting is the key to maintaining Milan. Without good lighting conditions, Milan, a flower plant, cannot be well maintained. If conditions permit, it is best to keep Milan sunny, that is to say, as much sunshine as possible in a day. But if there is no yard or terrace for family flowers, it is difficult to have such conditions. But at the very least, try to give it enough light and give Milan a sunny place, such as the balcony and windowsill facing south.
Third, poor ventilation often leaves.
Milan has small and dense branches and leaves, which have poor ventilation performance and high ventilation requirements for the environment. The maintenance environment is too closed, or the ventilation condition is poor, which easily leads to poor breathing and frequent shedding of plant leaves, especially in the high humidity season in summer and indoor heating in winter, the growth speed of leaves can not keep up with the shedding speed. After the leaves fall off, the slender branches will dry up because there are no leaves, and finally the leaves of the plants will gradually decrease, forming a state of sparse branches and leaves.
Solution: The maintenance of Milan environment must be well ventilated. It is not suitable for maintenance in a closed balcony, and it is best to maintain it outdoors. The open Nanyang terrace is more suitable for planting Milan. Milan is not cold-resistant, so it needs to be maintained indoors in winter, and it needs to be ventilated frequently when the temperature is high during the day.

Fourth, it is often dry and leaves fall in batches.
Milan has small and dense branches and leaves, which require high water content. Once water is scarce, it will cause a lot of fallen leaves. When the basin soil is completely dry, it will cause a large number of fallen leaves in Milan in a short time. When there are a large number of fallen leaves in Milan, even if watered in time, it will cause a large number of branches to wither, eventually causing the whole plant to be sparse.
Solution: This reason involves Milan's irrigation strategy. Milan is a plant that likes humid environment and has no drought tolerance. During the growth period, the root system cannot be short of water. When watering Milan, keep the basin soil moist, do not water it all year round, and water it in time when the topsoil is dry. Especially in the high humidity season in summer, it may be necessary to water many times a day. In winter, it is necessary to spray water on plants and their surroundings frequently to increase the air humidity in the small environment.
In addition to the above unilateral reasons, Milan's sparse branches and leaves are likely to be the result of many reasons and * * *, which needs comprehensive consideration.
