How to make Kalanchoe bloom more

Choose the right flower pot

Many flower lovers believe that the larger the flowerpot, the more growing space the plant has, the better the plant will grow and the more prosperous the flowers will bloom. To this end, plant the smaller plants in larger (extremely disproportionate) flowerpots, apply enough base fertilizer, and think that it is all done in one step, waiting quietly for it to bloom. This method is not very effective. The reason is simple: the larger the flower pot, the larger the space, the faster the roots spread and grow, and will consume too many nutrients. The reduction in nutrients needed for the Kalanchoe to bloom will inevitably result in narrow leaves, fewer flowers, and fewer flowers.

Therefore, flower pots with harmonious proportions are more suitable for the growth of Kalanchoe, and medium-sized flower pots are generally used for potted plants at home.

Controlling plant height

After a long summer dormancy period, autumn is the vigorous growth period of Kalanchoe, so major pruning can be carried out at the beginning of autumn to make the plant short and sturdy and promote the development of multiple branches. Combined with fertilization, the plants grow better.

As long as the Kalanchoe has many branches and can get enough nutrients, it will not be a problem to bloom in the future.

Fertilization should be done at an appropriate concentration

Adequate fertilizer and water are the basis for the plant to bloom, but some flower lovers, in order to save trouble, overestimate the endurance of Kalanchoe and apply too concentrated fertilizer at one time, which often has the opposite effect. Kalanchoe either has a large number of yellow leaves or becomes listless due to the high concentration of the soil solution. In this state, flowering is absolutely impossible.

Kalanchoe is a medium-fertilizer-tolerant plant, so you should apply thin amounts of fertilizer frequently. During the bud formation and flowering stages when top dressing is needed, bone meal can be diluted with potassium dihydrogen phosphate into a solution and sprayed on the leaves to promote flowering.
