Cultivation methods and precautions of the longevity of the palace lantern

1. Soil

Although it does not have high requirements for soil, it likes to grow in loose, slightly acidic sandy soil, and its roots are easily rotten in clay. When it is cultivated in potted plants at home, it is advisable to mix it with leaf mold, garden soil, etc., and add 5% to 8% sand as the culture soil.

2. Watering

The Kalanchoe nemorosa is a fleshy plant that contains a lot of water. It is relatively drought-resistant but afraid of waterlogging. It grows well in dry air conditions in high-rise buildings. Do not water too much. Water once every 2-3 days. It is better to keep the soil in the pot moist but slightly dry. Avoid rain during the rainy season. Too much water can cause root rot, leaf fall, and even death.

3. Lighting

It does not have strict light requirements and can grow well in both cloudy and sunny conditions. It likes sunlight. Except for the hot summer when it needs to avoid the sunlight, it needs sufficient sunlight at other times. It needs more than 4 hours of direct sunlight a day to grow healthily.

4. Temperature

The normal suitable growth temperature is around 15℃-25℃. Too high temperature will easily slow down its growth rate. If the temperature is too low, the growth may stop directly, and it may even freeze to death if the temperature drops below 0℃.
