Many flower lovers love to grow potted flowers at home in summer. The beauty of the flowers not only decorates the room, but many flowers can also purify the air, simply a feast for the eyes. Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) is one of the potted flowers many flower lovers adore, easy to care for and especially beautiful, and it fills out its pot easily. But in summer, battered by high temperatures, kalanchoe starts to yellow and its growth slows a little.

Today let's see how a 30-year veteran flower farmer grows flowers. His kalanchoe does not yellow all summer and blooms nonstop, and it turns out he used this little trick. In summer, kalanchoe yellows at the slightest slip. Summer temperatures are fairly high, so we need to keep the kalanchoe's soil moist, which prevents yellowing caused by lack of water.

We should often spray water on the kalanchoe's leaves. This not only washes dust off the leaves and makes the kalanchoe more attractive, but also supplements moisture to the leaves, killing two birds with one stone. But remember: during the kalanchoe's bud stage, do not spray water on the flower buds, otherwise the heart easily rots and the plant dies.

But the main cause of yellowing in kalanchoe is that in summer nutrients evaporate quickly, and the kalanchoe cannot get the nutrients it needs in time. So at this point what we need to do is supplement nutrients for the kalanchoe. First, we can bury fruit peels at the bottom of the pot, such as banana peels, apple peels, citrus peels, and so on. No need to cut them small; burying them at the bottom of the pot not only improves the soil's drainage and aeration, but the peels also produce good nutrients as they decompose.

You can also cut the peels small and soak them in water in a bottle, then once the water starts to change color, use it diluted with water to irrigate the kalanchoe. This is a very good nutrient solution, and it also keeps the kalanchoe's leaves emerald green and its flowers blooming one flush after another.
