Kalanchoe turning yellow and not growing well? Give it a "haircut" and one pot becomes 10 pots, blooming in clusters

Summer is here, and many flowers are suffering from the heat, not blooming and with leaves that are not green. Gardening friends all say that the kalanchoe they grow does great in other seasons, but as soon as summer arrives it starts to develop yellow leaves and few flower buds. Why is that? Let me teach you a trick: give the kalanchoe a "haircut" and one pot becomes 10 pots, blooming in clusters.

As the city flower of many cities, kalanchoe has extremely high ornamental value, and even when it is not blooming it is still a very good foliage plant. It likes an environment with good light, but the high temperatures of summer will cause kalanchoe not to bloom. At this time we can give the kalanchoe a "haircut".

Cut off the top part of the kalanchoe, so that the remaining part can absorb better nutrients. If you fertilize and water it in the normal way, it will vigorously sprout side shoots and produce many flower buds. However, it is recommended to properly remove some flower buds the first time it blooms, so that the nutrients can be concentrated and the kalanchoe will bloom larger and more brilliantly.

The cut-off part can be placed in soil for cuttings. The soil used for cuttings must never be garden soil, because garden soil has no nutrients and easily becomes compacted. We can mix turf ash and coal ash, and then use it to root the cut-off part of the kalanchoe as a cutting.

When taking cuttings, in order to make them root faster, we can cover the surface with a layer of plastic film. Water thoroughly once, then spray a little water appropriately afterward. Do not keep it in a place with high temperatures, as this will affect the rooting efficiency. Before rooting, do not pinch it with your hands. It can root in just over ten days. After rooting, repot it and care for it in the normal way, and you can grow a new pot.

Gardening friends who like kalanchoe can try this little trick. It is super useful: one pot becomes 10 pots, blooming in clusters. If you have any other flower-growing experience, you can also share it with everyone in the comment box below!
