Summer is here, and many flower lovers want to keep a few potted flowering plants at home; their ornamental value is extremely high, and they can be grown either hydroponically or in soil. But some flower lovers say that the Kalanchoe they cared for bloomed quite well the first time, and then gradually began to grow only leaves without blooming, and it was also prone to yellowing leaves. Although some flower lovers think it is fine to enjoy only the leaves without the flowers, Kalanchoe is, after all, a potted flowering plant, so how can it not bloom? Today, the editor will teach you one trick that, when used to grow Kalanchoe, can keep it flowering nonstop.

First, let us look at the reasons why Kalanchoe grows only leaves and does not bloom:

1. Evaporation is relatively fast in summer, so one of the reasons it does not bloom may be overwatering that causes water to accumulate at the roots, or underwatering so the roots cannot absorb nutrients.

2. Kalanchoe is relatively fond of light, so you must usually keep it in sufficient light; otherwise, Kalanchoe is very likely to drop its buds during the bud stage.

3. Kalanchoe relatively prefers loose, breathable soil. If the soil is too heavy and clayey or tends to compact, it will cause Kalanchoe to grow only leaves and not bloom.

4. During the bud stage of Kalanchoe, never water the flower buds, as this will cause the buds to rot at the center.

5. When the new leaves start to turn white, remember to fertilize.

In response to these reasons why Kalanchoe grows only leaves and does not bloom, let me sum it up: we can use this little trick to save it and make Kalanchoe bloom nonstop. Although Kalanchoe is fond of light, in summer you must be sure to provide shade; otherwise, evaporation will be faster and lead to long-term water shortage. As long as it is not in the bud stage, we can spray water on the leaves to maintain sufficient moisture.

Another issue is the lack of fertilizer for Kalanchoe. We can collect the fruit peels from home, put them in a bottle, add an appropriate amount of water, and let them ferment. Once the water color begins to change, it can be used to water Kalanchoe. There is no need to worry that the fertilizer is too strong and burns the Kalanchoe, and it can also make Kalanchoe's leaves green and flowers vivid, super beautiful!
