Milan orchids should be reshaped from the seedling stage, leaving only the trunk of 15-20 cm. Don't let the trunk grow out of the soil, but let it grow by bifurcation and make the plants full. Because the lower branches of perennial plants are easy to die, high temperature pruning should be carried out every other year from the seedling stage to promote the adventitious buds below the lower main branches to grow new side branches, so as to keep the tree symmetrical and the leaves vigorous and lush.

Pruning in growth period

Pruning in time during the growth period can promote the germination of lateral branches and make Milan's crown lush and dense. When the plants grow too high or are not in harmony with the placement space, the branches that are too high can be cut short to make the orchids grow horizontally and expand the crown. But be careful when pruning. Pruning time is generally carried out within one week before and after each flowering, and the terminal buds and flower buds should be properly removed during bud pregnancy. Pruning is generally not needed when the temperature is high in summer. Milan's first pruning in a year is in spring. Once you choose outdoor activities, cut off dead branches, diseased branches and over-dense branchlets to strengthen ventilation and light transmission. And concentrate nutrients on the remaining branches, thus promoting the growth of Milan.
