How to propagate Milan flowers and precautions

Milan reproduction method

There is not a single way to propagate Milan. It can not only be propagated by the most common method of cuttings, but also by seed sowing and layering. The seeds of Milan can grow Milan, and the natural way of reproducing offspring is seed propagation.

How to breed Milan fastest

Milan seeds reproduce quickly. If you water the seeds in time and appropriately after sowing, they will basically germinate and emerge from the soil in about 20 days. At this time, you need to prepare a breathable and draining flower pot, sprinkle some organic fertilizer at the bottom of the flower pot as base fertilizer, then fill the flower pot with new nutrient soil, and finally transplant the Milan seedlings into the flower pot.

Milan breeding time

Milan can be propagated by layering and cuttings. Layering propagation is from May to September each year, and cutting propagation is from April to May each year. The survival rate is higher at this time.

Milan breeding method

Milan division propagation

You can choose a strong and mature Milan, separate the tender branches on one side that are more than one year old completely, and keep its roots. You can trim the roots of the supplementary food and diseased roots, clean the old soil, and place it in a cool place for a week.

Milan cutting propagation

Choosing cuttings: The first step in Milan cuttings is to choose strong branches grown in the current year as cuttings. The branches must be disease-free and active, and the most suitable length is about 8 cm. Choosing such branches for cuttings is very conducive to the germination of the root system.

Processing of cuttings: After the cuttings are selected, they need to be processed in a certain way. Flatten the upper end and trim the lower end at an angle to increase the contact area with the soil. Cut off all the leaves at the lower end of the branch and only keep the three leaves at the upper end to avoid excessive evaporation of water and reduce excessive consumption of nutrients. The branches can be planted after being disinfected.

Milan seed propagation

The method of sowing Milan seeds is relatively simple. Before sowing, first crush and flatten the soil, sprinkle the selected seeds on the surface, then cover with a 2 cm layer of soil, and then water it. The amount of water this time can be appropriately increased, mainly to thoroughly water the soil, create suitable humidity for seed germination, so as to promote its early breaking through the soil.

Milan leaf cuttings

Choose one- or two-year-old strong Milan branches, peel the base in a ring shape with a width of 0.5 to 1 cm, wrap the wet soil with plastic film, keep it moist, and it will take about 50 days for roots to grow. After 4 months, you can cut it from the mother plant and plant it in a pot.

Milan breeding precautions

Before Milan is transplanted, it is necessary to prepare suitable soil to increase the survival rate. It is best to provide loose, breathable, well-drained, nutrient-rich, slightly acidic soil. Choose strong branches, place them in a cool and ventilated place after pruning, dry them, and wait for cuttings.
