Although orchids like to be wet, they should not be too wet. If you water it, you should generally water it when the soil in the basin is white, and you must pour it thoroughly, subject to a small amount of water flowing from the bottom of the basin. During flowering, the amount of watering should be reduced appropriately, otherwise the buds and flowers will fall off easily, and watering should be controlled when the weather turns cold after autumn. Dry in summer, in order to achieve the purpose of wetting, you can spray water on leaves and the ground after sunset every day. Milan has lush leaves. In the growing period, new branches keep sprouting and forming new spikes, so it needs sufficient fertilizer. If the fertility of basin soil is not enough, the flower quantity will decrease obviously. But it is not suitable for applying thick fertilizer, so we must master the principle of applying more thin fertilizer. When topdressing starts in spring, it should be applied every 7- 10 days, and the topdressing should be replaced with alum fertilizer water every month. Apply at most some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers,
Such as fishy water, bone meal water, etc. , are conducive to pregnant buds. It is not advisable to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer in summer, otherwise it will cause less flowering and light fragrance. After beginning of autumn, topdressing generally stopped. Milan is prone to aphids, red spiders, scale insects and other pests, as well as soot disease. It can be sprayed with carbendazim 500- 1000 times or washed with clean water.
1. Milan's cold tolerance is worse than Jasmine's. 1 1 will first winter in the area north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yellow River. In winter, the room temperature should be kept at 10℃ to 12℃ to keep the terminal buds of Milan from sprouting. Place Milan in the sunny place near the window sill, pay attention to proper ventilation, stop fertilization, and often spray the dust on the leaves with clean water at or near room temperature. If dust covers the leaves for a long time, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow or even fall off. Pay special attention to moderate watering to keep the soil slightly wet. If the room temperature cannot meet the above requirements, it can be placed indoors at 5℃~ 7℃. If the room temperature is below 5℃, the author has a method to recommend: homemade warm box. Specific methods: according to the size of the basin, make a wooden box or thick cardboard box slightly larger than the basin, fill the bottom of the box with cottonseed hull or dry sawdust of about 10 cm, put Milan basin on it, fill the gap between the box and the basin with cottonseed hull or dry sawdust until it reaches the edge of the basin, and tie an arched wire rack on the mouth of the box and cover it with plastic film. When the weather is sunny and warm, the incubator can be moved out of the sunny place outside. When the temperature in the membrane is too high, the vent can be opened. The gap between the fillers in the box can absorb some heat, and when the indoor temperature is lower than 5℃ at night, the heat is slowly released to keep warm.
2. Potted Milan will lose many leaves in a short time if it is cold. You can knock Milan out of the pot, peel off 1/3 of the soil around the soil ball, remove the rotten roots, cut off 1/2 branches, replant them, water them properly, and put them in the sunny place at room temperature 10℃ to keep the soil moist, and the branches will grow again in the next spring.
3. Although Milan likes fat water, when the temperature drops to 12℃ after wintering, it enters a dormant period, and its respiration and transpiration are greatly reduced. Not only can't fertilize, but also water less. Generally, water is poured once every two months and sprayed on the leaves.
4. In winter in Milan, too high temperature will also affect dormancy. When the room temperature is higher than 12℃, new leaf buds will sprout on the branches, which not only consumes too much nutrition, but also tends to appear dry shoots after leaving the house in spring, affecting flowering. Therefore, when the room temperature is too high, it is also necessary to properly ventilate and reduce the indoor temperature, but don't put Milan in the air.
Orchid and orchid are the same plant, but they have different names.
