When does Milan bloom? Why doesn't Milan bloom?

1. Flowering time

Milan's flowering period is very long, from May to November, with the peak blooming period being July and August. Its flowers are panicles, 5-10 cm long, have a very fragrant smell, are about the size of a grain of rice, and are only about 2 mm in diameter. There are usually 70-100 flowers on one branch, each flower has 5 petals and is yellow in color.

2. Reasons for not blooming

1. Insufficient light: Although Milan is relatively shade-tolerant in the seedling stage, mature plants prefer light. If there is insufficient light and the environment is too dark, the plant will grow poorly and will not be able to photosynthesize. Adequate light can promote the differentiation of flower buds and enable the plants to bloom.

2. The temperature is too low: Milan likes a warm climate. If the temperature is below 16℃, although the plant can sprout new branches, the growth rate is relatively slow and flower spikes cannot be formed. Only when the temperature reaches 25℃ can flower spikes grow at the top of the branches.

3. Lack of nutrients: Any plant needs to consume nutrients to bloom, and Milan is no exception. During the growth period of the plant, it is necessary to supplement with decomposed cake fertilizer, but be careful to apply thin fertilizer frequently to avoid burning the plant. Before the plant blooms, it is necessary to add appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can also help promote flowering.

4. Too much watering: Milan likes a humid environment. Sufficient water can help the plant grow, but it will also limit its flowering, so proper water control is needed. Simply extend the watering intervals and allow the plant to dry out occasionally, which will allow the plant's nutrients to be transferred from growth to flowering.
