How often should I water Milan?

Milan likes moisture, and the soil in the pot needs to be kept slightly moist, but not too moist. Follow the principle of watering only when the soil is dry, and then water it when the surface of the soil turns white.

The frequency of watering the Milan plant is related to seasonal changes. Generally, there is no fixed frequency. Usually on sunny days, it can be watered once every 2-3 days.

1. Watering in spring

The climate in spring is mild and the temperature gradually rises. At this time, Milan enters the growth period and has a relatively large demand for water. It needs to be watered about once every 2-3 days. If it is cloudy, you can water less.

2. Watering in summer

In summer, Milan flowers have a very high demand for water and need to be watered every day. The watering time should be chosen in the morning or evening, avoiding the high temperature at noon.

3. Watering in autumn

The temperature gradually turns cooler in autumn, so you can water the plants every 3-4 days. Be careful not to let water accumulate in the soil, otherwise it will cause waterlogging and root rot.

4. Watering in winter

The temperature is relatively low in winter, and Milan may enter a dormant period. At this time, you should reduce the frequency of watering appropriately, and water it once every 10-15 days.

What kind of water is good for Milan flowers?

In addition to using tap water to water Milan flowers, you can also use orange peel water, rice water, etc. Orange peel contains fruit acid, and rice water is rich in phosphorus and potassium. The "acid water" mixed with the two is very good for watering Milan flowers and can promote the flowering of the plants.
