Today let's talk about kalanchoe. Many gardening friends have reported that the kalanchoe they bought from the flower shop withers, turns yellow, and drops its flowers after just a few days of blooming. What is the reason for this? Let's analyze it today

The flowering period of kalanchoe is actually very long. These kalanchoes of mine have been blooming for two months already, and they are still this vigorous now, only the petals have changed color slightly, because this spot of mine gets full sun, so the flowering period is a bit shorter, but it has already been two months,

Why do the kalanchoes many friends buy and take home fade so quickly? When we buy them, they are all grown in small pots. We think kalanchoe is drought-tolerant, so we don't dare to water it. Actually, if the watering is insufficient and then it is put under the sun to bake, the petals easily dry up and drop,

Because we grow them in small pots, water must not be lacking during the flowering period, and the soil must be loose and airy. Only sufficient water will keep it blooming for several months. As long as the soil is loose and airy enough, more watering will not easily rot the roots. You can water it generously, but there must be no waterlogging,

These kalanchoes of mine were all cuttings taken last autumn. A single plant bloomed this many flowers. This is the result of sufficient water and sufficient nutrients. Use monopotassium phosphate before flowering, keep up the water during flowering, water it generously, and the soil must be airy, with water flowing out from the bottom without pooling. It blooms in great numbers and for a long time too. Look, these flowers are bursting all over the pot, blooming fiercely, impossible to stop

If during flowering we are afraid of not watering enough, we can put it in a place with a bit dimmer light, which can effectively extend the flowering period

The kalanchoes we buy have a short flowering period, and this is the reason. Some friends think it is due to insufficient fertilizer, but actually that is not the case,

The kalanchoes we buy all have a great many buds, which shows that in the greenhouse the fertilizer was very sufficient. The flower drop is not due to fertilizer at all, it is because we don't dare to water

When they are grown in the greenhouse, the watering is very generous, all flood irrigation, and because the soil used is fairly airy, the roots never rot
