How to handle a Kalanchoe after it blooms? Three simple points to teach you

Kalanchoe is a clump-forming plant. It is not tall but has dense leaves, and the flowers it produces are very beautiful. Most importantly, its blooming period is very long, and it can bloom for 6 months of the year, so it is very suitable for friends who love to admire flowers to grow. So how should you care for Kalanchoe after its blooming period so that it can produce more flowers later?

First, we need to clean up. After Kalanchoe has passed its blooming period, there will be many spent flowers or dead branches on the stems. We need to remove them by hand. Do not be reluctant to do it; dead branches and rotten leaves will not bloom, so you should actively remove the spent flowers to reduce unnecessary loss of nutrients.

Second, Kalanchoe does not have high requirements for its growing environment. After Kalanchoe finishes blooming, it can be placed in a ventilated place to prevent bacteria from breeding inside. When there is sun, it can be put in the sun, and placing it on a balcony is also fine. However, if it is winter, we need to pay attention to keeping it warm, because after blooming the plant is relatively fragile at this time. If you want it to bloom again the next year, you need to pay attention to keeping it warm. Kalanchoe has a very obvious change when it suffers cold damage, which is that the leaves turn red. If you find that the leaves of Kalanchoe turn red in winter, you need to pay a lot of attention.

Then, after Kalanchoe's blooming period, we also need to fertilize. Some friends find it strange: why do we still need to fertilize after the flowers have faded?

Normally, fertilizing is started during the growing period, and our Kalanchoe will produce beautiful flowers. We fertilize after the flowers fade to keep the plant with a certain amount of nutrients, so that it will not run out of nutrients in the later growing period. This is also so that it can produce more flowers in the future.

The last point is that after the flowers fade, we must stop watering Kalanchoe, because at this time the roots and stems of Kalanchoe are in a resting state and absorb relatively little water. We basically do not need to water, otherwise it will cause too much water accumulation in the pot, which is unfavorable for root growth. Over time, the roots cannot breathe, and the fertilizer applied earlier cannot be absorbed either, causing the double effects of fertilizer damage and water accumulation. Then it will be difficult for it to bloom in the future.
