How to make Kalanchoe bloom on New Year's Day

Flowering period

In fact, as long as they are well taken care of in the first three seasons, it is not difficult to make them bloom in December. If we take good care of it, it may continue to bloom until around April. Each of their branches can bloom about ten flowers, so if properly cared for, it is possible for them to bloom not only on New Year's Day, but even until the Spring Festival.

Flowering period regulation

temperature

If you want them to bloom well, the most important thing is temperature. Friends who plant them outdoors should bring them indoors in time, because low temperatures will definitely affect their flowering time. Their most comfortable environment is 15-25℃, and they are willing to bloom only when the temperature reaches this level. If this condition is not met, the temperature must be kept above 10℃. If the temperature is too low, it will not only be a problem of slow flowering, but the survival of the entire plant will become a problem.

Water and fertilizer

When winter comes, don't increase the amount of watering just because they are about to bloom. At this time, you should water them less. You can apply some phosphorus fertilizer before flowering, so that the flowers will bloom more and faster! No fertilizer is needed during the flowering period. You can resume fertilizing after the flowers fall so that they will grow better next year.

Topping

A good way to control the height of the plant is to pinch the top. You don't need to do it too many times, once or twice will be enough. When growing Kalanchoe abroad, people generally do not pinch the tips of the flowers. However, the plant shape can be better after pinching, and pinching should be done when the plant grows to more than 15cm. Also, when the flower buds just appear, be sure to ruthlessly pick off some of them. But don’t worry, this will allow them to grow more buds, and the moment of blooming is just around the corner!

Well, now that I have given you so many useful tips, just go and try them.
