How do you grow a Kalanchoe to a full pot? Just master 4 steps
As the quality of life improves, many people now like to keep a pot of flowers at home. Many flowers have seasonal blooming periods, especially in winter. Today, however, I want to talk about a flower suitable for growing in winter and spring——the Kalanchoe. Kalanchoe not only has ornamental value, but also carries very good symbolism. So, how do you grow a Kalanchoe?
1. How to grow a Kalanchoe
1. Temperature
Kalanchoe is an indoor flower, and its temperature requirements are actually very strict. Kalanchoe likes warmth, and the temperature should be kept between 18 and 30 degrees. In summer and winter especially, be sure to move it indoors to keep it warm
2. Light
Although Kalanchoe is a plant suitable for indoor growing and has temperature requirements, it still cannot do without light. A lack of light will cause the stems to stretch out and produce only leaves and no flowers. So you still need to take it out into the sun often
3. Watering
Many people water only when they remember to. The plant either dies of drought or drowns. Watering carelessly like that, even a cactus would die on you. Generally speaking, Kalanchoe only needs watering once every 3 to 4 days.
4. Pruning
Once again, going too far is as bad as not going far enough!! Too many tangled branches and leaves become a burden during the growing season!! Those dead leaves and spent flowers should be cut off when they should be. If you want it to take shape, you should start pruning during its growing season
2. Points to note when growing Kalanchoe
1. Pot and soil
Kalanchoe does not have very high requirements for the pot, but it does have high requirements for the soil. It is best to use a mix of leaf mold, garden soil and sandy soil. Remember not to use clay
2. Fertilizing
Getting a Kalanchoe to fill its pot actually requires fertilizing. As for fertilizing, once a month is enough. Ordinary fertilizer is enough to grow it very well. Or fermented milk, or manure. If nothing else, the tea you cannot finish drinking every day will also do
Alright, that is all for how to grow a Kalanchoe. You can go home and try it a few more times. I hope everyone's Kalanchoe can bloom beautifully and fill the pot
