Kalanchoe keeps blooming nonstop, pruning the flower branches alone is not enough, you need to do 1 more step

Kalanchoe is an ideal potted plant for decorating the home. It comes in many flower colors, its blooms grow in clusters, and its leaves stay green all year round. It is a potted plant that blooms year-round, but many flower lovers' kalanchoes only bloom once or twice and then stop blooming. Why exactly is that?

In fact, every time the kalanchoe finishes blooming, just cutting off the flower branches is not enough, you also need to do this 1 more step! Let's take a look below!

For potted plants grown for their flowers, perhaps the vast majority of flower lovers know that after each bloom fades, you should promptly cut off the flower branches. One reason is to avoid consuming too many nutrients, and another is to promote the sprouting of new buds and encourage a second round of blooming.

But just cutting off the flower branches is not enough. We often overlook this step. You should know that when kalanchoe flowers are in full bloom, they consume a large amount of nutrients. We can observe that every time the bloom fades and we cut off the flower branches, the leaves become soft. So if you want the kalanchoe to bloom nonstop, first the leaves must resume growth, and at this time it needs a large amount of nutrients. With insufficient nutrients, growth will be very slow, and blooming will be very difficult.

So after cutting off the flower branches each time, we can apply a nitrogen fertilizer once every 15 days to help its leaves resume growth faster. Only when the branches and leaves grow lushly will it keep producing flower buds.

After flower buds appear, we can spray a monopotassium phosphate solution once every 15 days. I believe everyone knows monopotassium phosphate, a very common phosphorus-potassium fertilizer that can promote blooming, extend the flowering period, and increase the number of blooms.

That is all for today's sharing about kalanchoe!
