How to prune a kalanchoe so it blooms all over the branches

When a kalanchoe is well cared for, it blooms all over its branches and looks very beautiful, making people love it. If you want a kalanchoe to grow especially well, normal basic care alone is not nearly enough, and pruning a kalanchoe is also very important. As long as you prune it properly at the right time, you can make a kalanchoe grow vigorously. So, how should a kalanchoe be pruned?

Kalanchoe pruning method 1

After the flowering period of a kalanchoe, you need to promptly cut off the faded flowers. The best time for pruning a kalanchoe is preferably in the second week after it blooms. After a kalanchoe blooms, promptly use tools to prune away the old branches and damaged branches that have finished flowering, then use scissors to cut off the remaining buds on the kalanchoe plant that can no longer bloom, and then spray water on the wounds of the branches so the kalanchoe can grow better. In short, just pay attention to pruning the branches that have finished flowering.

Kalanchoe pruning method 2

Another pruning method for kalanchoe is to prune the kalanchoe so it can maintain a more perfect plant shape and increase its ornamental value.

Pruning a kalanchoe to make its plant shape look better requires paying attention to the pruning season. It is best to prune in spring and autumn, and best to prune when the temperature is relatively suitable. Kalanchoe is very intolerant of heat, so when caring for a kalanchoe, note that it enters dormancy when the temperature is high. If you want the kalanchoe's plant shape to look good, you should prune it twice a year.

For the first pruning of a kalanchoe, you can cut off part of the main branches, leaving about 10 cm, and let the kalanchoe grow for a period of time. When the kalanchoe grows new branches, you can prune it again, which can promote more blooms on the kalanchoe. But note that you should not prune too much at one time, because if you prune too much, it is easy for the kalanchoe to be unable to carry out photosynthesis or to carry out too little photosynthesis, causing the kalanchoe to die.

For the second pruning of a kalanchoe, you only need to prune the leggy growth of the kalanchoe, as well as the branches that look imperfect overall, so the branches can grow more beautifully and have higher ornamental value.
