How to prune Milan after it blooms

1. Pruning seedlings

Milan has a relatively long flowering period. As long as the temperature is suitable and there is sufficient light and nutrients, it can bloom continuously. The amount of pruning after flowering is not particularly large, and it is mainly pruning to full growth. Generally speaking, you have to start with the seedlings. When the seedlings grow to a certain size, keep the lower 15-20 cm short to allow it to fork and branch, so that its plant shape will grow fuller.

2. Prune the long branches

For Milan flowers that are raised at home, they often already have a certain size and are basically formed when you buy them from the flower market. Therefore, it is necessary to trim the overgrown branches after flowering. Excessively long branches will destroy the shape of the plant. We must cut them short to keep the plant shape intact.

3. Prune dead branches

The inner branches are relatively thin and weak, and some are even dead, so you can just trim them off. Generally speaking, Milan does not require major pruning, mainly to maintain the plant shape.
