Grow Kalanchoe like this and it blooms 365 days a year; just pinch off a leaf, drop it in a pot, and it will live!

Kalanchoe can be called a lazy person's plant; it really is the kind of potted plant that blooms beautifully without much fuss. Whether you put it in the office or on a home balcony, give it a bit of sunlight and it will burst into a full pot. But why do some flower lovers find that as they grow it, the leaves start to rot? Or after blooming once, it never blooms again? Today, let's talk together about how to better care for Kalanchoe so it easily blooms all year without stopping!

Kalanchoe care tips:

1. Insufficient light easily leads to fewer blooms, and the plant grows leggy, thin, and weak

Please place Kalanchoe somewhere that receives at least 4 hours of light per day and is relatively well ventilated. To make the plant shape more attractive, rotate the pot once a week.

2. Insufficient nutrients easily leads to no blooming or fewer blooms

Kalanchoe likes fertilizer, but that does not mean giving a large amount of fertilizer at once; too much fertilizer will cause the leaves to turn yellow. The correct way to fertilize Kalanchoe should be: apply nitrogen fertilizer during the growing period, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before blooming. Fermented fish fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate both work.

3. Pruning after flowering is very important. When spent flowers appear during the vigorous growth period, prune lightly, starting from the second pair of leaves below the spent flower and cutting it off. After the dormancy period, you can cut off the top and prune heavily to make the plant shape fuller. After pruning, remember to apply fertilizer once.

To grow Kalanchoe well, these 3 points are indispensable. One more thing to note separately is that Kalanchoe is relatively drought tolerant. When watering, wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly. Do not water too frequently, otherwise it is very easy to rot the roots and leaves.
