How often should I water the longevity flower?

When watering the Kalanchoe, you should keep the soil moist based on the principle of watering thoroughly but not accumulating water. Also, you should consider the temperature and environment when watering so that the water temperature is not too hot or too cold. In spring and autumn, you can water it every 5 days, in summer, you can water it every 2 days, and in winter, you can water it twice a month. It is best to water along the edge of the pot, and use tap water and rice water as the main watering methods.

How to water Kalanchoe

1. Insert a bamboo stick into the soil : In order to determine whether the Kalanchoe needs watering, you can insert a bamboo stick into the soil. If you find moisture on the bamboo stick after taking it out, it means that the soil is relatively moist and it is best not to water it.

2. Observe the soil in the pot : When watering the Kalanchoe, one of the principles you need to follow is not to water unless the soil is dry, and to water thoroughly when you do. That is to say, when watering, you need to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, otherwise the roots may rot.

Precautions for watering Kalanchoe

1. Better to be dry than wet : Although water is one of the essential factors for its growth, temporary lack of water will only cause it to grow weaker. If there is too much water, it may cause root rot and the whole plant may die. Therefore, you need to follow this principle.

2. Water thoroughly when dry : This principle means waiting until the soil is dry before watering. Do not water if it is not dry yet. Also, be sure to water thoroughly when watering, and do not just wet the surface of the soil.

What to do if you overwater Kalanchoe

1. If you water it too much, just take it to a well-ventilated place to allow the water to evaporate faster. If there is no water accumulation in the potting soil, it will not cause root rot.

2. If the roots have rotted due to excessive watering, the plant should be removed from the pot, the rotten roots should be cut off, and the original soil should be disinfected and dried, or replaced directly.
