In October, give your kalanchoe an egg: a 30-year veteran flower grower's secret for blooms all winter long
As people's living standards improve, more and more people like to keep a few potted flowers at home. They don't just decorate the room; they also lift the spirits. Some flowers kept at home are even natural air purifiers. Speaking of growing flowers, many flower lovers say flowers are hard to grow in late autumn. Next, let's see how a 30-year veteran flower grower does it.
Whatever this veteran flower grower grows, it bursts into a pot full. This is especially true of the kalanchoe, common in autumn and winter. Kalanchoe has extremely high ornamental value; even when it isn't blooming, it's a fine foliage plant. It has many varieties and even more flower colors, and it carries the lovely meaning of longevity. Keeping one at home or giving one to relatives and friends is a great choice. The 30-year veteran flower grower simply gives the kalanchoe an egg in October, and it blooms all winter long!
If you want your kalanchoe to bloom abundantly in winter, you need to fertilize it now to replenish nutrients. An egg is a great choice for this. First, the egg yolk: after fermentation, egg yolk contains especially rich phosphorus fertilizer.
The method is very simple too. Use chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the flower pot, drip an appropriate amount of egg yolk into each hole, then cover them with soil. When you water, the egg yolk slowly ferments along with the watering, producing nutrients for the kalanchoe to absorb.
Eggshells also have excellent nutritional value. Used for growing flowers, they not only raise fertility but also make the soil loose and airy, and they're rich in nutrients. Just collect the eggshells, leave them in the sun to dry, crush them, and mix them into the soil; they even have a moisture-retaining effect.
