Milano (Aglaia odorata) dropping leaves and no fragrance? Grow it this way and enjoy the floral scent every day
Milano (Aglaia odorata) has flowers with a light, delicate fragrance, and its blooming period is especially long, lasting from April all the way to December every year, truly blooming from spring all the way to winter!
The Milano flower is lovely, but it has a somewhat quirky temperament. In the following aspects, if we fail at even one of them, it will drop its flower buds and leaves!
1. Light
Milano (Aglaia odorata) loves light. The more sunlight it receives, the more flowers it produces and the stronger the floral fragrance. If grown indoors, you can confidently place it in the spot with the most abundant light all year round! If it does not get enough light, it is not just a matter of fewer flowers - its leaves will also drop like crazy!
2. Water
Milano (Aglaia odorata) not only loves light, but also loves water. When the surface layer of the potting soil dries out, water it promptly! This point is especially important. What we mean is that when the surface layer of the potting soil dries out, you must water it promptly, because if we water just a little too frequently, or if we fail to water promptly after the potting soil dries out, it will drop its leaves!
3. Fertilizing
Because Milano (Aglaia odorata) has a relatively long blooming period and a relatively large flower output, we must keep up with nutrient supplementation! Besides applying a compound fertilizer with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once a month to ensure the nutrients needed by its roots, stems and leaves, during its blooming period you must also supplement it with high-phosphorus fertilizer 2-3 times a month, that is, monopotassium phosphate!
In addition,Milano (Aglaia odorata) likes slightly acidic soil. You must also apply ferrous sulfate once a month to supplement the soil's acidity, or you can water it with some rainwater in summer!
As long as we pay attention to these points during daily care, Milano (Aglaia odorata) will not only avoid dropping leaves, but will also bloom especially profusely, and the floral fragrance will be especially strong!
