1、 Breeding method

1. Soil: Milan likes loose and fertile soil, rich humus can provide nutrients for plant growth, and good drainage can avoid root flooding. It is usually prepared with peat soil and river sand and mixed in the proportion of 2:1. If there is no peat soil, it can also be replaced by garden soil and compost soil, with two parts of each and one part of river sand

2. Light: Milan should be properly shaded in the seedling stage and fully exposed to light after growing up. It is usually planted in the sunny place. If it is domesticated, it can be placed on the balcony, so that it can be fully exposed to light. Insufficient light will make the plant grow in vain and affect its flowering. However, in summer, it is necessary to avoid being exposed to the sun to prevent the leaves from losing water and drying up, which is not conducive to plant development

3. Watering: Milan prefers moist plants. It should be watered properly during its growth period to keep the soil moist, but not too damp. If there is technology in the basin soil, it will affect the respiration of the root and may rot. If the climate is relatively dry, it is necessary to spray water properly once a day in the morning and evening to increase the humidity of the environment

4. Fertilization: the growth of Milan needs certain nutrients. If fertilization is not appropriate, the flowering quality of the plant will decline and the flowering period will be shortened. Generally, it is necessary to apply fertilizer properly during the growth period. The fertilizer is mostly rotten cake fertilizer or sesame paste residue water, which is fully diluted before fertilization to avoid fertilizer damage. It is usually applied every 7-10 days, and calcium superphosphate can be supplemented before flowering

2、 Precautions

1. Keeping warm in winter: Milan's cold resistance is not strong, so we must pay attention to keeping warm in winter. You can put it in a warm place indoors, but you should be able to see the sun and not too much shade. If the temperature in the house is not high enough, you need to put a plastic bag on the top of the plant to keep warm

2. Pest control: common diseases in Milan include stem rot, anthrax and soot. Stem rot can lead to stem rot, which needs to be controlled with Bordeaux liquid. Anthrax will cause the diseased branches and leaves to fall off, which needs to be trimmed in time and prevented with depository solution. Soot disease often occurs simultaneously with scale insects, which can be controlled by carbendazim. The main pests threatening it are scale insects, aphids, red spiders, leaf curling moths and so on, which usually need to be sprayed with different chemicals
