How to fertilize Kalanchoe? Do these three things to absorb nutrients well!

1. Fertilizer selection:

The Kalanchoe can be planted in a flowerpot during the seedling stage. Generally, it needs to be fertilized with liquid fertilizer with a relatively high nitrogen content 15 days after planting. Two to three times will be enough. This will promote the growth and development of the stems and leaves of the Kalanchoe. After the Kalanchoe blooms, you should add liquid fertilizer once more, so that its flowers can bloom more and more beautifully. A layer of plastic foam should be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot for planting Kalanchoe. This can enhance the permeability of the flowerpot. In addition, the culture soil must be acidic sandy soil. You can also mix rotten vegetable leaves and soil in equal amounts and use them evenly, and add an appropriate amount of sand. The culture soil made in this way is very suitable for the newly grown Kalanchoe seedlings. At this time, the base fertilizer can be a fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, or a certain amount of bone meal.

Second, the method of fertilization:

When fertilizing Kalanchoe in the summer, special attention must be paid. Due to the relatively high temperature, only fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can meet the growth needs of Kalanchoe during this period. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the method of fertilization. Be careful when applying fertilizer. Never apply fertilizer on the leaves and flowers of Kalanchoe. The fertilizer will cause the Kalanchoe to be burned and rot, affecting its normal growth and development. After applying fertilizer, be sure to clean up the fertilizer debris on the Kalanchoe in time. No residue should be allowed.

3. Amount of fertilizer:

Kalanchoe does not have high requirements for fertilizer. In fact, after applying base fertilizer once when planting, there is basically no need to continue applying top dressing. As for the amount of base fertilizer used, generally half of that of other flowers and plants is enough. That is to say, if other flowers and plants require two handfuls of base fertilizer, Kalanchoe only needs one handful! In addition, you can also apply fertilizer during the flowering period of Kalanchoe, which can promote the blooming of flowers. At this time, the concentration of the fertilizer selected must be low, and it is enough to apply it once a month to supplement certain nutrients for its flowering!
