1、 Sowing time

Milan is usually sown in autumn. At this time, the climate is relatively warm and the light is not strong. It is easier to take root and sprout after sowing. In summer, because the light is too strong, the seedlings are easy to be sunburned after growing, so we must pay attention to shade. In addition, because the plant is not cold resistant, if sown in winter, the seeds cannot take root and germinate

2、 Basin soil preparation

The soil for planting Milan should be loose and fertile, which can ensure the growth of seeds. Humus soil is usually mixed with river sand. The proportion of river sand is not too large. It is mainly used to increase the drainage of soil. In addition, because humus itself contains nutrients, there is no need to supplement additional base fertilizer

3、 Seeding and seedling raising

When the soil is ready, you can sow. Usually, the whole fruit should be buried in the soil, not too deep, otherwise the budding rate will be reduced. After sowing, it should be watered once to keep the substrate moist. Usually, it will grow in the second year after sowing in autumn. The plants at seedling stage are shade tolerant and can be properly shaded to avoid direct light. When it grows to 20 cm high, its terminal bud needs to be cut off

4、 Subsequent maintenance

Milan's adult plants are not resistant to shade, so they should provide sufficient light, and at the same time, they should be watered frequently to keep the basin soil moist without moisture. Because it can bloom many times a year, it should be properly topdressed after each flowering to supplement nutrients. During the growth period of the plant, it is also necessary to properly trim the branches that are too long and too dense, and spray carbendazim to prevent wound infection
