How to grow Kalanchoe in winter and what to pay attention to. Can it be placed outside in winter?

1. Breeding methods in winter

1. Keep warm: Kalanchoe is not cold-resistant. If the temperature starts to drop in winter, you need to keep warm. Generally speaking, you can just move it indoors and keep it there. The indoor temperature can reach above 12℃, so there is no need for excessive protection. If the temperature does not reach 12℃, you have to take appropriate measures, such as putting it in a bag to keep it warm.

2. Water: Slightly moist soil is more suitable for Kalanchoe to survive the winter, but slightly dry soil will not have a big impact as long as it is not too wet. If necessary, you should spray water frequently to keep it moist. Because the indoor temperature is relatively dry in winter, spraying a little water will also help its growth.

3. Sunlight: The plant should be exposed to sufficient sunlight during the winter. The potted plant can be placed in a sunny place, usually a south-facing balcony or window. Do not place it in the shade. The sunlight at this time is very weak, and the plants will not be burned even if they are exposed to the sun all day.

2. Precautions

When maintaining the plant indoors, open doors and windows more often during the day to ensure good ventilation. Especially in rooms equipped with air conditioners, you should open the windows more often, otherwise the environment will be too stuffy and dry, which is not conducive to its growth.

3. Can it be placed outside in winter?

If the outdoor temperature is not particularly low, it can be placed outside. But if the temperature is relatively low, such as staying at 0℃ for a long time, it will be frostbitten. Whether in the south or the north, it is best to grow it indoors, because when the temperature is low it may not freeze it to death, but it will affect its flowering.
