The Gongdeng Kalanchoe is a light red flower, named for its appearance, which resembles small palace lanterns.

How to grow the Gongdeng Kalanchoe (pruning methods)
1. The Gongdeng Kalanchoe likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight, so it should be placed in a sunny spot most of the time, and should receive at least 4 hours of light per day to ensure robust growth, but at noon in midsummer it should be shaded. To let the Gongdeng Kalanchoe receive light evenly, it is best to turn the pot 180 degrees every half month, to avoid a lopsided crown and a reduction in its ornamental value.
2. Although the Gongdeng Kalanchoe can also grow in semi-shade, its stems are thin, its leaves are thin, and it has few flowers with pale color, far less luxuriant than when grown in a sunny spot. If it is placed in too shady an environment for a long time, the Gongdeng Kalanchoe very easily drops its leaves and does not bloom; if it has already bloomed, then its flower color will become increasingly dull, and then the flowers will fall off and wither. After the Gongdeng Kalanchoe finishes blooming, its flower stems should be cut off immediately, to favor the next wave of blooms.
3. When pruning, there is also a certain method to follow. Generally, we cut off the second pair of leaves below the flower branch together with the flower branch, and after a longer period of time new buds will grow again and it can even bloom a second time. You can also start major pruning every year after the flowers fade; before July, pruning only requires leaving about 3 cm of stem, and everything else can be cut off completely, and you can even leave no leaves.

Pest and disease control for the Gongdeng Kalanchoe
The main problems are powdery mildew and leaf blight, which can be sprayed with a 600-fold dilution of 65% zineb wettable powder.

Therefore, when growing it, you should also pay attention to pest and disease control, to prevent them from affecting the plant's growth.
When growing the Gongdeng Kalanchoe, you need to have a certain understanding of its growth habits. It is a light-loving plant, but it is not tolerant of high temperatures, so when growing it you need to let it bask in the sun and shade it at the appropriate times. When pruning there are also certain little tricks, some of which are introduced above, and I hope they are of some help to everyone.
