How to prune and deal with Kalanchoe after its flowers fade

1. How to prune Kalanchoe after the flowers fade

1. Prune the dead flowers: The dead flowers of Kalanchoe should be pruned in time after they fade, usually in the second week after flowering. Directly cut off the old and broken branches after flowering, and also cut off the remaining flower buds on the branches to prevent them from rotting on the branches and bringing in diseases and pests. When pruning dead flowers, be sure to start from the first pair of leaves on the branch. Be careful not to start from the second or third pair, otherwise it will affect the flowering of the next season and the branch will not bloom.

2. Pruning branches and leaves: After the Kalanchoe flowers fade, not only the withered flowers should be pruned, but also the branches and leaves to save nutrients as much as possible and help the plant recover. When pruning, cut off the overgrown branches, weak branches, old branches and overlapping branches. This will save nutrients while allowing the plant to be better ventilated and let in light.

2. How to deal with the Kalanchoe after the flowers wither

After the flowers of Kalanchoe fade, not only do you need to trim them, you also need to pay attention to maintenance. After the flowers fade, the plant will enter a dormant stage, and the temperature at this time is too high, so the temperature must be controlled and maintained between 15-25 degrees. Reduce watering and water only when the soil is dry. In addition, after flowering, you should apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer to replenish the consumed nutrients and promote its recovery as soon as possible, which is also beneficial for later growth.
