Is it good to use organic fertilizer for Kalanchoe (what kind of fertilizer is good for Kalanchoe)

The benefits of organic fertilizer for flowers

Organic fertilizer is made from the plants and animals and their feces after they have been decomposed. For example, the cake fertilizer water, chicken manure, pigeon manure, compost, etc. that we often use to grow flowers are all organic fertilizers.

Organic fertilizer contains comprehensive nutrients and is a comprehensive fertilizer. It not only contains large amounts of elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., but also calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, boron, etc. Only organic fertilizer can meet the needs of plant growth.

Unlike chemical fertilizers, which have a single element, in addition to nitrogen fertilizer, there are also phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. At the same time, organic fertilizers are rich in organic matter and microorganisms, which can improve the looseness and air permeability of the soil and prevent the soil from becoming compacted.

Since organic fertilizer has so many benefits, it is natural that Kalanchoe can be grown with organic fertilizer.

Which organic fertilizers are suitable for fertilizing Kalanchoe?

Kalanchoe is a plant of the Crassulaceae family, genus Kalanchoe. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-32 degrees, and it blooms in winter and spring.

To maintain Kalanchoe, you need to fertilize it regularly. Fertilizers include organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers. There are many organic fertilizers suitable for Kalanchoe, such as cake fertilizer water, pigeon manure, pig manure, bone meal, fertilizer water made from kitchen waste, rice water, etc.

How to fertilize Kalanchoe to make it grow well

There are two aspects to fertilizing Kalanchoe. One is to apply base fertilizer when potting, and the other is to apply top dressing during the growing period.

When potting, the base fertilizer is generally organic fertilizer. You can mix a small amount of decomposed base fertilizer, bone meal, etc. into the soil, or you can spread a layer at the bottom of the pot and then plant Kalanchoe on it.

Top dressing is our usual fertilization, which can be organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer. In the spring and autumn, when the growth is vigorous, generally apply thin liquid fertilizer or cake fertilizer water every 15-20 days. Cake fertilizer water contains more nitrogen and is suitable for use during the growth period of branches and leaves.

After the flower buds are formed, it is necessary to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Organic fertilizers such as pigeon manure, chicken manure, duck manure, and bone meal contain more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and are suitable for use during the bud and flowering periods.
