Kalanchoe planting time

Kalanchoe is a plant of the Crassulaceae family of the genus Kalanchoe. It is best to sow it from September to November each year, but if it is in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other regions, it can be sown all year round.

How to plant Kalanchoe

1. Temperature : Kalanchoe has very strict requirements on temperature. If the temperature is higher than 34℃, it will enter a dormant period. If the temperature is lower than 10℃, it will stop growing.

2. Sunlight: Kalanchoe likes plenty of sunlight, so it is best to place it on a balcony or windowsill.

3. Water: Water when the soil is dry and wet. Just keep the soil moist. In summer, you don’t need to water every day, just water it every 5-7 days. If it rains, move the Kalanchoe indoors to prevent waterlogging.

How to plant the newly bought Kalanchoe

1. Don’t rush to repot : Don’t rush to repot the newly bought Kalanchoe. Its roots will adapt to the environment in the original pot.

2. Avoid strong light : It is best to place the Kalanchoe in a bright place, gradually expose it to sunlight, and enhance its ability to adapt to the environment.

3. Water in time: Determine whether watering is needed based on the condition of the potting soil. It is inconvenient to water at the flower market or during transportation, which may cause the potting soil to become too dry.

4. Don’t rush to fertilize : Don’t rush to fertilize the Kalanchoe, especially during the flowering period. Improper fertilization will affect flowering.

5. Isolate from other plants : The newly purchased Kalanchoe should be kept at a distance from other plants. They may have diseases and pests, and if they come into contact with each other, they may be easily infected.

How to grow Kalanchoe quickly

1. Water 1-2 times a week to provide sufficient moisture.

2. Apply fertilizer once every half a month to replenish nutrients.

3. It needs to receive 8-9 hours of sunlight every day.

4. Prune in time, especially after the flowers fade.

5. Change the pot regularly to ensure sufficient nutrients and timely ventilation.

Precautions for potted cultivation of Kalanchoe

The branches and leaves of Kalanchoe should be trimmed before repotting to allow it to store more nutrients. It is best not to repot during the flowering period, otherwise it will affect the quality of flowering.

Be careful when repotting so as not to damage the roots. Place some pebbles on the bottom of the pot before repotting to enhance the air permeability of the soil.
