Can Milan flowers be pruned in summer?

It is not suitable to prune Milan flowers in summer.

The temperature is too high in summer, often reaching over 35 degrees. It is not a good season to prune rice flowers, and there is no need to prune Milan at this time.

After a spring pruning, as long as the Milan is placed in a sunny place outdoors and properly fertilized, the Milan will grow well. There is really no need to prune the branches and leaves of the Milan at this time, unless there are a few overgrown branches and dead flowers. Otherwise, pruning the Milan in the summer when the temperature is so high will not only affect the flowering of the Milan, but in severe cases may cause the death of the Milan.

What is the reason for the yellow leaves of Milan flowers?

Milan is infected with algal spot mainly because of poor air permeability. Algal spot will not cause Milan to wither and die, but it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off, which really affects its appearance.

The spots of algal spot disease begin as small water-soaked green spots. As the environment becomes poorly ventilated and the humidity decreases, they will turn into a large number of white raised spots, similar to the characteristics of psoriasis. They will cause yellow leaves and are highly extensible. If not properly controlled, they will spread quickly.

Characteristics of algal spot outbreaks: high temperature and humidity, poor environmental ventilation, and excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer.

If this is the case, you can do this:

1. Go to the flower market and buy a pack of copper sulfate or Bordeaux liquid spray. Apply it once a week and it will be done quickly.

2. It is not recommended to use pesticides at home. Instead, just spray with white vinegar (not vinegar containing sodium salt) and garlic water once every four days, and the effect is also good.

3. Pay attention to ventilation, keep it cool and not humid, avoid exposure to the sun and apply too much fertilizer.

When is the best time to prune Milan flowers?

Generally speaking, spring is the most suitable time to prune Milan. After a winter rest, move Milan outdoors when spring comes and do a major pruning for Milan. Remove the dead branches and rotten leaves of Milan, and there is no need to keep the thinner ones. If Milan grows too densely, it should be properly pruned to ensure that all branches and leaves of Milan can receive light. Pruning some branches and leaves in spring can prevent excessive consumption of nutrients, and the remaining nutrients are concentrated on the unpruned branches, providing more protection for the growth of Milan.
