Maintenance of Kalanchoe in summer

1. Provide shade in time

When caring for the plants in the summer, do not expose them to too strong sunlight. Move them to a cool place when the sun is strong to avoid harm to the plants. You can place it on the north balcony or under the shade of a tree.

2. Control the temperature

The temperature in the summer can be extremely high. If you don’t pay attention to cooling down the plants, they will go dormant and grow poorly. Generally, home cooling is mostly done by spraying water and ventilating the room. Water can be sprayed on the ground or on the leaves.

3. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

This period of time is most susceptible to diseases and insect pests, so it is necessary to do a good job of prevention and control. It is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the maintenance environment, open the windows more often, and disinfect regularly, or spray some bactericidal drugs, which can also reduce the chance of plants being damaged.

4. Reduce watering

Kalanchoe will enter a semi-dormant or dormant state in summer. When its growth is restricted, the frequency of watering should be appropriately reduced. Generally speaking, the interval between watering should be twice as long as the growing period. It is best to wait until the soil is dry before watering it thoroughly.
