Grow your Kalanchoe this way in summer: no yellow leaves, no root rot, and it will still bloom all over the pot when the flowering season comes

Gardeners often leave comments saying that as soon as summer arrives, their Kalanchoe is especially prone to yellow leaves, and they ask me what the reason is?

Actually, no matter what kind of flower you grow, summer is a critical hurdle, and Kalanchoe is the same. When summer comes, it will have a dormant period, and the care during this period is different from usual!

First, during the dormant period, Kalanchoe has relatively high requirements for ventilation. If the ventilation conditions are poor, it will develop yellow leaves! So when summer comes, we should place the Kalanchoe in a spot with scattered light, open the windows more, and maintain a certain amount of ventilation for it!

Second, when summer arrives and the Kalanchoe goes dormant, its demand for water becomes very low, so we should not water it frequently. Be sure not to water until the soil is completely dry, and when you do water, water it thoroughly.

Also, after watering thoroughly, move it to a place with very good ventilation so the potting soil can quickly reach a semi-dry state, avoiding the soil staying wet for a long time and causing root rot!

Third, when summer arrives, Kalanchoe not only has a lower demand for water, it basically has no demand for nutrients either! At this stage, we had best not fertilize it, because it has basically stopped growing. After fertilizing, the roots cannot absorb it, and it will burn the roots!

As long as you pay attention to these points, Kalanchoe generally will not develop yellow leaves in summer anymore. When the weather cools down and it has smoothly passed through the dormant period, we can then place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight, give it normal care and normal fertilizing, and it is best to use organic nutrient solution, which will not burn the roots. It will not take long before it starts popping out flower buds like crazy!
