It has a particularly high ornamental value and is suitable for people to grow at home.

Cultivation methods and precautions of Kalanchoe

1. Planting of Kalanchoe

When cultivating Kalanchoe, you can plant it directly by inserting stems, or you can use leaves to propagate. It is suitable for potted planting in the north and for outdoor planting in the south. When planting in pots, you should choose fertile sandy soil. Before planting, you should put tiles at the bottom of the pot and apply enough base fertilizer in its substrate. After planting the Kalanchoe, you cannot water it immediately. You need to wait three to five days before watering it, otherwise the roots of the Kalanchoe will rot.

2. Pay attention to temperature and light when growing Kalanchoe

If you want to grow Kalanchoe well, you must pay special attention to the temperature. It grows fastest in an environment of fifteen to twenty-five degrees and is not resistant to high temperatures. In summer, you must pay attention to ventilation and cooling and avoid direct sunlight. In winter, it needs to be placed in a sunny and warm area. When the room temperature is below five degrees, Kalanchoe cannot survive the winter safely. The leaves will turn red or fall off, and in severe cases, it will die.

3. Pay attention to the supply of fertilizer and water when cultivating Kalanchoe

If you want to grow Kalanchoe well, it is very important to supply fertilizer and water. Kalanchoe contains more water and is drought-resistant. Do not water it too much during the growing season. Watering once every three days is enough, or you can water it after you see the soil in the pot is slightly dry. Water it enough but without water accumulation. In winter, the number of watering should be reduced. During the peak growth season of Kalanchoe, you can apply more phospholipids. The fertilizer should be diluted before application, otherwise the fertilizer concentration will be too high, which will damage the roots of Kalanchoe and is not conducive to its healthy growth.
