1、 Pruning time

The pruning time of Milan flower is generally concentrated in the seedling stage and growth stage. Pruning in different periods focuses on different directions. Pruning at seedling stage is mainly to control the growth of plants and facilitate later modeling. The growth period is generally pruned in November, and reasonable thinning is carried out according to the growth of the plant. In addition, do not prune during dormancy, which is not conducive to plant recovery

2、 Pruning method

1. Pinching and topping: during the seedling stage of Milan flower, the plant needs to be pinched and topped, and the length of the trunk should be controlled between 15-20 cm. By topping, it can remove its top advantage, promote the growth of lateral branches, and make the plant look more beautiful and more convenient for modeling. You can also top the lateral branches, which can also make it more lush

2. Daily pruning: Milan peanuts are pruned for a long time, usually seven days before and after flowering. Before flowering, the buds can be thinned or wiped properly, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and make the flowers bloom more evenly. After the flowers wither, the remaining flowers need to be cut off in time to accumulate some nutrients for the plant to continue to grow

3. Pruning during the disease period: if the Milan flower is sick, the branches and leaves often become withered, and pruning is also needed at this time. Cut off the diseased branches and leaves, spray Carbendazim and other drugs to avoid the recurrence of the disease, put it in the semi shade and wait for the wound to dry, so that the plant will recover soon. In addition, the cut branches and leaves need to be destroyed in a centralized manner to avoid infection to other plants
