What to do if Kalanchoe grows taller

1. Old plants

After the Kalanchoe has been cultivated for about 2-3 years, it will become quite tall and its shape will be very messy. At this time, heavy pruning is required, leaving 2-3 pairs of buds at the base of the plant, and the upper part can be cut off. The buds in the lower part will germinate to form a short plant.

2. New seedlings from cuttings of the same year

Affected by light or moisture, the plant can also grow very tall, which is also a kind of leggy growth. You can increase the light, control the water content, and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to make it grow stronger and shorter. If the plant has already grown leggy and tall, you can pinch off the tips, topping it, or pruning it in the middle to make it have more branches, become shorter and denser, and form a more beautiful plant shape.
