Light and temperature balance. Milan flowers are a typical positive plant but should not be exposed to direct light. It is recommended to adopt a combination mode of direct exposure for 2 hours in the morning and dusk + sunshade at noon. In winter, it is necessary to maintain a wintering temperature above 12 ° C. In the northern region, insulation areas can be built with double glass windows + foam boards, and flower pots can be wrapped with cotton cloth to prevent cold at night. Air circulation management maintains 50%-70% environmental humidity that is most conducive to growth. It can be used with an ultrasonic humidifier or a pebble water tray. Open windows for ventilation every day should avoid the high temperature period at noon, especially during the plum rainy season, it is necessary to cooperate with dehumidifiers to prevent the growth of mold. Milan's flower water and fertilizer management standards and scientific watering system adopts the "three-look watering method": look at the soil (the surface layer is 2cm dry), look at the leaves (slightly wilted), look at the seasons (3 days every time in spring and autumn, once in the morning and evening in summer, and 7 days in winter). It is recommended to use a long-spout pot to slowly penetrate along the wall of the pot to avoid scouring the roots. During the growth period (March to September) of the precision fertilization plan, fish protein liquid fertilizer (N-P-K=3-2-2) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (diluted 1500 times) are alternately used every 15 days. Apply additional bone meal extract during the budding period, and pay attention to returning water the next day after fertilization to prevent salt accumulation.
