Why isn't your kalanchoe growing as well as other people's?

In recent years, kalanchoe has become very popular in the potted plant market, especially in terms of sales on the international market, and has become one of the flowers with the fastest sales growth. In the Dutch potted plant market, it already ranks third in sales, and in Denmark it has even achieved the excellent result of ranking first in potted plant sales. There are absolutely reasons why kalanchoe is so popular, but why is the one you grow yourself not as good as other people's? It may be that you haven't done these few things well, dear!

Kalanchoe likes to bask in the sun, and everyone knows this. But some flower lovers just place the kalanchoe on the balcony and never move its position again. This won't do. You should rotate the position of the potted plant every so often; after one side has basked, the other side still needs to bask too! Otherwise, one side receives more sunlight and the other side receives less, so one side will grow strongly and the other side will grow weakly.

There is nothing wrong with giving kalanchoe sunlight, but when the temperature is above 35 degrees, do not let it receive direct sunlight all day. In the mid-to-late afternoon period, appropriately move it a little toward the inner part of the balcony, and if a shade net is set up, at least ensure a 60% light transmittance rate.

Kalanchoe is difficult to grow in cold weather, so in winter (especially in the north; if it is Hainan Island, then it's fine~) you should move it back indoors to avoid the cold, otherwise it may be damaged by freezing. But after moving it back indoors, you need to pay attention to another issue - ventilation. Do not put it in an indoor space with doors and windows tightly closed. It is best to use a closed-type balcony, and appropriately open some glass windows to let air through, so that both cold protection and ventilation are taken care of.

After the flowers fade, promptly cut off the entire flower stalk to avoid wasting excess nutrients. It is best to ensure repotting and changing the soil once a year to guarantee the supply of new nutrients to the plant. If you want it to quickly grow into a full pot, you should pinch it during the growth period, that is, pinch off its topmost tender buds to stimulate it to grow more tender buds; in this way the plant crown will be larger and have the effect of filling the pot.
