Orchid cultivation techniques.

Milan pruning in the north from June to July. Cut the lignified branches that grew 10 ~ 15 cm that year, cut off the lower leaves, flatten the cut parts, and insert them into the plain sand in a flowerpot or wooden box.

Milan has a long flowering period and needs more fertilizer. During the growth period, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers such as bone meal and rice washing water should be applied. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied every 7 ~ 10 days, which is not easy to be too thick. After autumn, fertilization should be stopped, watering should be reduced, and wintering ability should be enhanced.

Milan is not cold-resistant, so it must be moved to a sunny place indoors before the first frost. Generally, northern areas go out before and after Grain Rain. If you leave the house too early, the cold wind will kill the leaves and branches. It took 1 ~ 2 weeks to get used to it.

Extended data:

water

Milan likes humidity, but it can't be too wet, especially during the growing period. Too much watering will cause problems such as yellowing of leaves and root rot. Generally, the basin soil should be watered when the surface soil turns white. The water must be thoroughly poured, subject to the water flow at the bottom of the basin. At the same time, the watering in Milan depends on the growth period, season and climate change.

After Tomb-Sweeping Day, Milan moved out of the house and the amount of watering began to increase. Less water on cloudy days, no water on rainy days, and water once every 2 ~ 3 days on sunny days. When summer is hot and dry, in addition to watering and spraying water on the leaves in the morning and evening, you should also shade them properly to avoid burning them by strong sunlight.

If it is found that buds wither and roots rot due to excessive watering, the plants should be poured out of the pot, part of the pot soil should be removed, some rotten roots and branches should be cut off, replanted and carefully managed. If new leaves grow, they can survive.
