How to grow Kalanchoe? Cultivation techniques of Kalanchoe

The flower language of Kalanchoe is good luck, longevity, and happiness and prosperity. It is an ornamental plant that many people like to grow at home. Especially around the Spring Festival every year, it is very popular in the market. However, some people cannot take good care of Kalanchoe after buying it home. This is because people do not understand its cultivation method and have not mastered the cultivation techniques of Kalanchoe. Today, the editor will teach you a few tricks so that you can easily learn to grow Kalanchoe.

1. Lighting management

Kalanchoe is a plant that is very sensitive to sunlight. When cultivating it, you must pay attention to the adjustment of lighting conditions. May and June each year are the stages of alternating long and short days, and the sunshine time will change from short to long. At this time, you should reduce the time that the Kalanchoe is placed in the sun to avoid causing the plant to grow too tall. The best way at this time is to provide necessary shading for the Kalanchoe during specific time periods every day.

2. Breeding temperature

When growing Kalanchoe, temperature regulation is also very important. Only when the external environment is between 17 and 27 degrees can the Kalanchoe grow vigorously. When the temperature is too high in summer, the plant must be shaded, otherwise it will cause damage to the plant. It is best to make a 60% to 70% shade net. If the shading rate is too large, it will also cause the plant to grow too tall, which will affect the ornamental value of the Kalanchoe.

3. Water supply

In normal times, when caring for longevity flowers, you need to adjust the water supply according to weather changes in different seasons. In summer, the temperature is too high and the transpiration effect is very obvious. The longevity flowers consume a lot of water. You can water them 1 to 2 times a day. If you water them too much, the plants will grow wildly. You can spray them with dwarfing agent in moderation. But in autumn, when the temperature drops after winter, the growth rate of longevity flowers will slow down, and their demand for water will decrease. At this time, you must reduce the water supply and water them once every 3 to 5 days. Otherwise, water will accumulate in the flowerpots, which will cause the roots of the longevity flowers to rot.
