Young man grows two Kalanchoe plants and in half a year they become over a hundred, all the neighbors are envious and rush to grab some

A young man grew 2 Kalanchoe plants, and in half a year they became more than 100, all the neighbors were envious and rushed to grab some

Xiao Qi grows Kalanchoe, and every year he takes many cuttings. When relatives, friends and neighbors come and see so many, they all ask for a few pots to take home and grow themselves. Xiao Qi is also very generous, giving whenever asked!

These are the two Kalanchoe plants Xiao Qi made videos about before. After they finished blooming, he trimmed off the spent flowers and branches. On the first trim, nearly 10 branches were cut from each plant, and Xiao Qi stuck them in to root. Then lots of side shoots came out, and basically about every month or so, they need trimming once, cutting more than 10 plants at a time. Now Xiao Qi has nearly a hundred successfully rooted cuttings. It really is so easy to propagate, with a 100 percent survival rate.

The state after trimming now, so many heads

Xiao Qi also said before that for the cutting mix he uses perlite, vermiculite and peat soil blended at a 1:1:1 ratio. When using this soil for cuttings, let the cut branches dry for more than a day, and wait until the wound on the branch tightens and dries out. This is the most suitable time to take cuttings. About a week after sticking them in, they can root, and in two weeks the root system can grow very well. Xiao Qi showed this in his videos before. It is just that simple.

These are all rooted but not yet transplanted

After sticking the cuttings in, the soil must be kept moist the whole time, and they should be placed somewhere with good ventilation and a bit of scattered light. Do not expose them to strong light. After about two weeks, once the roots have grown well, gradually increase the light and return to normal care.

These have all rooted from cuttings and been transplanted into long planter boxes

Once Kalanchoe finishes blooming, you have to keep trimming the branches to encourage it to branch out more side shoots. The more side shoots, the more flowers it will have in autumn. The process of trimming and pinching back continues until autumn, and once autumn arrives it must stop. After the flowers finish, if you want the side shoots to grow in greater numbers and grow fast, we must keep up with fertilizing. That way the side shoots can grow big in a month and can be pinched back and trimmed again. On the soil surface of the pot, Xiao Qi uses a multi-element mixed granular slow-release fertilizer, and twice a month waters with Flower Duoduo No. 10 diluted in water. To describe it in three words, it grows like crazy.

To grow Kalanchoe, you have to be ready to make space for it. This guy is just too good at branching out side shoots. In one year of cuttings, hundreds of plants, and without enough space it simply will not work. After autumn, you must supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and at this time do not trim or pinch back. Fertilize with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer three times a month, with plenty of light, and before winter arrives it will surely be covered in flowers. Two Kalanchoe plants, grown this way, become several hundred in one year, and in winter they bloom all over with Kalanchoe flowers.After two Kalanchoe plants finish blooming, Xiao Qi uses this method to grow more than 100 pots in half a year. Amazing, my friend!
