How to care for Milan flowers
As an ornamental plant with elegant fragrance, the cultivation of Milan requires a scientific approach. Many flower enthusiasts often encounter problems such as yellowing leaves and few flowers during the breeding process. This article will systematically analyze the complete care system of Milan from soil selection to seasonal management.
Key points of environmental regulation
1. Soil preparation skills
The root system of Milan is strict with the breathability of the matrix, so it is recommended to use a golden ratio of decayed leaf soil + river sand + perlite (5:3:2). When changing the potting soil every 2 years, bone meal can be added to enhance fertility.
2. Light management principles
Milan has typical yin-yang dual characteristics, requiring 4 hours of scattered light every day during spring and autumn, 50% strong light filtering with a shading net in summer, and full sun care in winter.
Water and fertilizer management plan
1. Watering cycle control
Use the "fingertip detection method": water when the second finger joint inserted into the soil is dry. In summer,配合早晚 leaf surface spraying to maintain 60% air humidity.
2. Nutrient supplement strategy
In the growing period, alternate the use of balanced NPK fertilizer (20-20-20) and monopotassium phosphate, with the dilution concentration strictly controlled at 1200 times. Stop fertilizing during the winter dormancy period.
Seasonal care focus
1. Management during the prosperous spring and summer period
Turn the pot 45 degrees every week from April to September to ensure even light exposure, combined with 0.1% ferrous sulfate root irrigation every month to prevent yellow leaf disease.
2. Care during the autumn and winter dormancy period
Move indoors when the temperature is below 15°C, maintaining a day-night temperature difference of ≤8°C. Stop fertilizing and control watering, keeping the potting soil moisture at 30%.
By scientifically adjusting the four elements of light, water, temperature, and fertilizer, combined with regular potting and pest and disease prevention, Milan can bloom throughout the year. It is recommended to establish a care log to record the plant's response after each operation, gradually forming an individualized care plan.
