Is Milan suitable for a large or small pot?

Milan should use a large or small pot

Milan does not need a very large pot, but if the plant grows bigger, you still need to choose a larger pot. At the beginning, you can choose a pot with a radius of about 20 centimeters, and then increase the size as it grows.

Be careful not to choose a large pot that is unsuitable for the plant, because if the pot is too big and the seedling is too small, the seedling's ability to consume water is not strong, and a lot of water will accumulate in the pot, which will make the air permeable poor and the roots will easily rot. Of course, if the pot is too small, the roots will find it difficult to stretch, which is also not acceptable.

Milan pot requirements

Milan should use a high pot or a low pot

Whether to use a tall or short pot for Milan needs to be selected according to the size of the plant. It should not be too high or too short. If it is too high, it will be difficult to water thoroughly and water will easily accumulate, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant. If it is too short, there will be insufficient growth space, which will hinder root germination and affect growth. If the plant is short, you can choose a pot that is 15-20 cm deep. If the plant is large, it is recommended to use a pot that is 25-30 cm deep.

Types of Milan flower pots

Milan can be planted in a plastic pot, which is simpler and cheaper, and has good drainage and ventilation properties. Ceramic pots can also be used, which are better than plastic pots and should be the best for this type of plant. In addition, unglazed pots can also be used, which have better air permeability and drainage properties, and are relatively cheap, which is quite suitable for Milan.

Key points for the maintenance of Milan potted plants

1. Soil: The most important thing for growing Milan in a potted plant at home is the soil. It is necessary to choose a slightly acidic soil with a certain amount of fertilizer in it, and then ensure that the soil is moist and loose.

2. Watering: For potted Milan, do not water it too wet on a daily basis. Water it only when the soil in the pot is dry and the surface turns white. Water it thoroughly each time. It should also be noted that less watering should be done during flowering, otherwise the flower buds will easily fall off. After autumn, the flowers grow slowly, so watering should be controlled. During the high temperature period in summer, you can use spray humidification. Stop watering when the temperature drops below 5 degrees in winter.

3. Fertilizer: During the growing season, thin fertilizers need to be applied frequently so that the plant can bloom many times a year. After the flowering period, long-acting compound fertilizers need to be applied to ensure long-term flowering and rich fragrance. It should be noted that it is not advisable to apply fertilizer after the beginning of autumn.
