Why you'll be stunned after watering flowers with beer and getting an explosion of blooms

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a perennial succulent herb. Also known as Christmas kalanchoe, Christmas kalanchoe, dwarf kalanchoe, longevity flower, kalanchoe, and so on. The flower colors are rich, for example: the flower colors include crimson, peach red, orange red, yellow, orange yellow, and white, and so on. Friends all say you can use beer to water flowers, so can it be used to water kalanchoe?

The main purpose of friends watering with beer is to promote kalanchoe to bloom more and with brighter flowers, and because kalanchoe's flowering period almost coincides with the Spring Festival in China, friends' feelings in doing this are understandable. This is like giving kalanchoe a big "shot of adrenaline," making the leaves verdant and dripping, the flowers numerous, and the blooms delicate and gorgeous, truly beautiful.

Generally do not use spraying, and it is not the flowering period; generally use beer to water the roots, and do not pour it directly into the flowerpot either, since this is not a person drinking beer; generally it must be diluted 10--20 times before watering the flowers. If it is before the flower buds and between the flower buds, it can be sprayed with a spray bottle.

Two, the disadvantages of watering flowers with beer

1. Shortening the flowering period: watering flowers with beer is like "pulling up seedlings to help them grow," and giving kalanchoe a "shot of adrenaline" indeed achieves the goal. But kalanchoe generally starts its flowering period in January. With sufficient nutrients and relatively good light, it can bloom until early May, but watering with beer will greatly shorten the flowering period. Then you will be stunned, the flowering period is too short.

Generally speaking, for flowers watered with beer, after blooming, pay attention to repotting and to increasing nutrients, otherwise they will become listless, or even develop yellow leaves and leaf drop. This brings no small trouble to later care. Of course, if friends say I only keep it for one season, there is indeed no way.

Generally after the flowering period in May, pay attention to repotting and to applying sufficient base fertilizer, such as decomposed cake fertilizer or sheep manure pellets, and so on. At the same time, before the flowering period, pay attention that one month before, you can apply some compound fertilizer, or use 20% urea at 800-1000 for irrigation. In this way the plant grows vigorously.

Generally in the two months of November and December, pay attention to changing the fertilization, for example appropriately increasing phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. It is generally recommended to directly spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate once about every 15 days, to promote the good development and increase in number of flower buds and flower buds.

In addition to the beer you mentioned, it is still recommended to irrigate with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which is beneficial for extending the flowering period and making the flowers delicate and gorgeous, and after the flowering period there is generally no need for special care.

Generally speaking, kalanchoe can generally be made to bloom earlier or later by increasing or reducing light. For example: for plants with good growth and development, giving short-day treatment (8-9 hours of light per day) for 3-4 weeks can produce flower buds and bloom.
