When should Milan be repotted? What should be paid attention to when repotting Milan?

Milan is a common flower in life. Many people like to grow some at home because of its fragrant flowers. So when should Milan be repotted? How to grow Milan to make it bloom more? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

When should Milan change its potting soil?

Milan plants usually need to be repotted and re-soiled every two to three years. As Milan plants continue to grow new branches and flowers during their growth period, the root system of the plant will also continue to grow some fibrous roots. After two or three years, the bottom and surrounding areas of the flowerpot will be surrounded by dense fibrous roots, which will limit the root system's ability to absorb nutrients. Therefore, we need to repot and re-soil in a timely manner to meet the normal growth needs of Milan plants.

What should I pay attention to when repotting Milan?

First, let's talk about the configuration of potting soil. Milan likes fertile, loose, well-drained slightly acidic soil. When choosing the substrate, we can use leaf mold, fertile garden soil and add a small amount of coarse sand. Take the plant out of the pot as a whole, do not break up the old soil (original soil), remove part of the original soil in places where there is no root system, and remove a layer of the top layer of the soil to expose the fibrous roots, which is conducive to promoting new roots.

When repotting, pay attention to reducing root damage. When adding new soil, you can add a small amount of phosphorus fertilizer as base fertilizer. After potting, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool place to slow down the potting. After 1 week, move it to a sunny place for normal maintenance. For flower lovers in the north, the soil and water quality will be a little alkaline. You can add diluted ferrous sulfate to adjust it when watering.

How to change the pot of the newly bought Milan

If the newly purchased Milan potted plant is in a plastic pot, you can directly remove the old pot. It is best to disinfect the new pot before use to avoid carrying pathogens. Do not damage the roots of the Milan when repotting.

The bottom of the new flower pot can be padded with some broken tiles or granular stones, and the roof can also be covered with some decomposed organic fertilizer. A layer of 3 to 5 cm thick soil should be laid on the organic fertilizer to avoid direct contact with the roots of Milan. If the flower pot is shallow, do not add fertilizer. It can promote future growth. After changing the pot, cover the soil appropriately, and finally water it thoroughly and place it in a ventilated and shaded place for maintenance.

Do not expose the plant to the sun immediately after repotting. As for the soil in the pot, you can remove some of the soil on the edge, but do not move the soil inside. After repotting, keep the plant in a bright place and it will take 2 to 3 weeks before it can slowly see the light.

In the later maintenance, more light should be given, and the soil should be kept warm and humid all year round to avoid excessive dryness. It is best to use rainwater for watering. Regularly adding some acidic fertilizers and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can promote flowering, but be careful not to make the concentration too high.
