Does Kalanchoe need to be pinched in autumn?

1. Is it necessary?

In order for the Kalanchoe to grow normally in the future and for its branches and leaves to become stronger and more luxuriant, it is necessary to pinch the tips of the branches. In addition to pinching during the vigorous growth period in the fall, pinching is also necessary when the seedlings are just starting to grow. This method can control the height, promote the growth of side buds and branches, and increase the number of flowers and make the colors more vivid.

Second, the method of pinching

When the plant grows three or four pairs of leaves, you need to pinch the tip and remove the top ones. At the same time, applying nutrients can promote its branches and leaves to grow more vigorously and also promote it to bloom more flowers.

3. Other maintenance

1. Light: When carrying out maintenance in autumn, the most important thing is sunlight. Ensure at least 6 hours of sunlight every day. If there is too little light, the branches will grow too tall and the plant will not be able to bloom.

2. Water: It contains water in its body, so you need to wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering. When the temperature starts to drop in autumn, you need to reduce the frequency of watering.

3. Temperature: You also need to pay attention to the temperature and keep it above 10 degrees.
