What are the latest care methods after Kalanchoe blossoming?

Kalanchoe is a very good Chinese New Year flowering plant. Many people buy it every winter. Generally, the ones we buy come with flowers, but when we take them home to grow, they either do not bloom for a long time or the buds drop off, and we simply cannot grow them well. So when Kalanchoe has flower buds, how should we care for it at home to ensure it opens normally?

Generally, the ones we buy from the market all come with flower buds. Whether they are in greenhouses or at the market, the nutrients in the early stage are very sufficient, ensuring that the flower buds fully grow out. So after we bring them home, do not stop fertilizing; we need to supplement fertilizer reasonably. The flower buds growing fully and opening fully also need nutrients. Choose one with high phosphorus and potassium content and no lack of other elements, such as Huaduoduo No. 2, and supplement it 2 to 3 times a month. With sufficient nutrients this way, its flowers can continue to grow and continue to open.

Another point is to give it sufficient light. Kalanchoe is a short-day plant. It needs at least 4 to 6 hours of light every day, and no more than 8 hours at most. Ensuring this light allows its flower buds to open quickly. If it is seriously short of light or the light duration is too long, it will also affect its blooming.

So how should it be watered? Watering Kalanchoe is very simple. Its root system is a shallow root system. Remember not to wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering, otherwise its fine roots will inevitably be damaged. Generally, for watering, choose to water it directly when the potting soil is half dry. This way its roots will not be harmed.

According to the method described by the editor, the Kalanchoe with flower buds that you bought, after being grown for a period of time, will fully bloom. After the flowers have completely finished, we prune it a bit, cut off the spent flowers, and then continue to care for it according to this method. Your Kalanchoe can still bloom a 2nd time, a 3rd time, and continue blooming until April or May in spring.
