Control long datetime xtick

Hello. I have an array that starts from 2015 to the end of 2020 every 10 minutes. This is my x-axis. When I plot this the x-axis only shows years, but I would like to show every years and months. I attached the m_file. If you guys know how to do this or tell me some tips for controlling the x-axis, I would be really thankful.

basedate = datetime(2015,1,1,0,0,0, 'Format', 'yy/MM');
enddate = datetime(2020,12,31,23,59,59, 'Format', 'yy/MM');
wanted_ticks = basedate + calmonths(0:(2020-2015+1)*12)

wanted_ticks = 1×73 datetime array
   15/01   15/02   15/03   15/04   15/05   15/06   15/07   15/08   15/09   15/10   15/11   15/12   16/01   16/02   16/03   16/04   16/05   16/06   16/07   16/08   16/09   16/10   16/11   16/12   17/01   17/02   17/03   17/04   17/05   17/06   17/07   17/08   17/09   17/10   17/11   17/12   18/01   18/02   18/03   18/04   18/05   18/06   18/07   18/08   18/09   18/10   18/11   18/12   19/01   19/02   19/03   19/04   19/05   19/06   19/07   19/08   19/09   19/10   19/11   19/12   20/01   20/02   20/03   20/04   20/05   20/06   20/07   20/08   20/09   20/10   20/11   20/12   21/01

sample_dates = linspace(basedate, enddate, 30);
plot(sample_dates, rand(size(sample_dates)))

xticks(wanted_ticks)
