How to fertilize Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Magic Lantern'? Master the correct fertilization method

1. This plant's fertilizer requirements

Overall, its fertilizer demand is quite high. This is because it is a relatively fertilizer-loving plant. During its vigorous growth period and when it blooms, it needs a relatively large supply of fertilizer. However, as we said above, we need to pay attention to the specific timing.

2. Specific methods

(1) First, about two weeks after initial planting. At this point, fertilizer needs to be applied two or three times. Note that this application should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, with others as supplementary. As for the type, ordinary liquid fertilizer will do.

(2) Then, about half a month after division. The treatment at this stage is basically the same as in the previous case, mainly nitrogen.

(3) When summer arrives, fertilization needs to be stopped during this period.

(4) Then there is its flowering period. Although it does not need too much fertilizer, a proper nutrient supplement is still necessary. Specifically, applying a monopotassium phosphate solution once a month is enough. The frequency does not need to be too high.

(5) Then there is winter. Because it basically does not grow, its demand is naturally not high. So during this period, just like in summer, there is no need to apply fertilizer.

3. Points to note

(1) The first point is the one we are very familiar with: the concentration issue. Like other plants, it does not like fertilizer that is too concentrated. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary harm.

(2) The second point is also very important. When applying, never sprinkle fertilizer onto the plant's leaves. Otherwise, it may corrode the leaves. Be sure to pay attention.
