2. Pruning method

The pruning time of Milan flower is usually in the seedling stage and growth stage. In the seedling stage, attention should be paid to topping and the height of the plant should be controlled. Generally, keeping it at 15-20 cm is enough. Pruning during the growing season is mostly done in November to give it a reasonable thinning shape. In addition, you should also prune before and after flowering. Pay attention to wiping the buds before flowering, and promptly cut off the remaining flowers after flowering to reduce nutrient consumption. If the plant is diseased, diseased branches and leaves also need to be pruned.

1. Pruning time

The pruning time of Milanese flowers is generally concentrated in the seedling stage and growth stage. Pruning at different times focuses on different directions. Pruning during the seedling stage is mainly to control the growth of the plant and facilitate subsequent shaping. Pruning is usually done in November during the growth period, and thinning is done appropriately based on the growth of the plant. In addition, do not prune branches during the dormant period, which is not conducive to plant recovery.

1 2. Topping: During the seedling stage of Milan flower, the plant needs to be topping, and the length of the main trunk should be controlled between 15-20 cm. By topping, you can remove its top advantage and promote the growth of side branches, making the plant look more beautiful and easier to shape. You can also top the side branches to make them more lush.

2. Daily pruning: long-term pruning of Milanese peanuts. This is usually done seven days before and after flowering. Before flowering, you can thin or wipe the buds appropriately, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and make the flowers bloom more evenly. After the flowers fade, the remaining flowers need to be cut off in time to save a certain amount of nutrients for the continued growth of the plant.

3. Pruning during the disease period: If the Milan flower is diseased, the branches and leaves will often become withered, and pruning is also required at this time. Cut off the diseased branches and leaves, spray carbendazim and other drugs to prevent recurrence of the disease, and place it in a semi-shady place and wait for the wound to dry, so that the plant will recover quickly. In addition, the cut branches and leaves need to be destroyed centrally to avoid infecting other plants.
