The common diseases in Milan are mainly stem rot, anthracnose and soot disease, of which stem rot can be controlled by Bordeaux mixture, anthracnose needs to be sprayed with propazine solution, and soot disease can be treated by carbendazim. Its common pests are scale insects, aphids, red spiders and leaf rollers, which can be brushed off with brushes or sprayed with pesticides to eliminate, but also pay attention to prevention at ordinary times.

1. Loose soil

Tulip is a bulbous plant, the bulb is afraid of wet environment, so the soil must be soft, but also to ensure good drainage.It is usually mixed with garden soil, humus soil and sand, which can provide a good growing environment.In order to provide nutrients, chicken manure or compost can also be used as base fertilizer in the soil.

2. Adequate illumination

Tulips are long-day flowers, which can not grow without sufficient light, so they should be placed in sunny places at ordinary times.If the light is insufficient, the plant will become thin, the stem will be very long, but the flower will be smaller, which will lead to its sterility.It should be noted that when the bulbs are just germinating, they should not be exposed to light, so as not to inhibit the development of plants.

3. Watering Control

Tulips need more water after planting for a week, so they need enough water.When it germinates, the water demand will be reduced, watering should also control the amount of water, especially in the flowering period can not be watered more, generally a small number of times.If the environment is too dry, the growth rate of plants will slow down, usually the humidity of the environment should be maintained at about 80%.

4. Timely fertilization

In addition to applying base fertilizer when tulips are potted, appropriate topdressing should also be applied during the growth process.First of all, after two leaves grow, liquid fertilizer should be applied, usually 1-2 times is enough.In its growth peak season, compound fertilizer should be applied 3-4 times a month to supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements in an all-round way, but fertilizer should be stopped in the flowering period.Wait until the flowers fade, and then add 1-2 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
