How to breed Milan to make it more vigorous

Milan growing conditions

Milan likes warm and humid environment, tolerates semi-shade, and likes sunny environment. It is suitable for growing in fertile, well-drained sandy soil. Milan is not cold-resistant and must be brought indoors for maintenance in late October, and the room temperature should be kept at 10-12℃. If the temperature is too high and ventilation is poor, growth will also be inhibited.

How to raise Milan

First of all, to cultivate Milan, you need to use loose, well-breathable soil. Secondly, ensure sufficient light and water it appropriately, water it once a week, and every day in summer. It is best to fertilize it reasonably, and apply decomposed cake fertilizer once every 15 days.

Milan watering

Milan usually needs to be watered once a week. Just control the water content and keep the soil moist. The weather is dry in summer and the plant loses a lot of water, so it is best to water it once a day. In winter, Milan is in a dormant period and does not need a lot of water. Water it when the soil is almost dry.

Milan Fertilization

Generally speaking, you can apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers or decomposed cake fertilizers to Milan once every two weeks, and organic fertilizers should be added once every 10 days in spring, so that Milan can grow better.

Milan pest control

Common diseases of Milan include anthracnose, sooty mold, and chlorosis. Once you find any abnormality in the leaves, you need to cut them off immediately, spray them with methyl thiophanate, and then place them in the sun.

Common insect pests of Milan include aphids, beetles, and red spiders. Once small insects are found, immediately spray them with benbuterol emulsifiable concentrate or benbuterol emulsifiable concentrate for prevention and control.

Milan Family Raising Method

1. The soil is acidic

When raising Milan at home, you need to use slightly acidic soil, and the soil fertility must be very good. It is best to mix leaf mold and silt soil.

2. Adequate lighting

When caring for Milan, the most important thing is to maintain sufficient light, so that the Milan can bloom more vigorously. Basically maintain about 8 hours of light a day, even in summer.

3. Keep the temperature high

Keeping the temperature at around 25-30℃ will make Milan grow more vigorously. Milan is very sensitive to low temperatures and must be placed in a warm and ventilated place in winter. If the temperature is too low, the plant will be frozen to death.

4. Water appropriately

Milan likes a humid growing environment. Watering should be done when the soil is dry and when it is wet. It is best to water it after the soil is completely dry. Water it once every 2 to 3 days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and once every 4 to 5 days in winter.

Milan maintenance precautions

1. Keep warm in winter

Milan has very high requirements for environmental temperature. A little carelessness may cause it to wither and die. The temperature in winter cannot be lower than 5℃. Every winter, it is best to move Milan indoors and control the temperature above 5℃ so that the plant can survive the winter safely.

2. Change soil every two years

When growing Milan, you must pay attention to changing the soil. Generally, after two years of growing Milan, the nutritional value of the soil in the pot has been almost consumed, so it is necessary to replace it with fertile soil. When changing the soil, you can cut off the rotten roots of Milan. Pay attention to allow it to absorb nutrients better.
