How to take care of the Kalanchoe you just bought home (how to handle the Kalanchoe you just bought online)

The Kalanchoe that you just bought home, such as those bought from the flower market or online, especially the Kalanchoe with flower buds, has just arrived in a new environment, and the temperature, light, ventilation conditions, etc. are not suitable. If you change the pot soil for it, it must adapt to the pot and the new environment. So, how to care for and handle the newly bought Kalanchoe?

The newly bought longevity flowers need to be inspected and processed

The first thing to do is to observe whether it is a Kalanchoe with broken roots. In a large-scale management of the flowerbed, the bottom of the Kalanchoe flower pot will "steal roots". The roots will grow out of the bottom of the flower pot and penetrate into the soil.

When the flowerbed is transplanted, the roots will be cut off. If there are broken roots, we need to put them in a pot. Fill a larger pot with sand, and then place the Kalanchoe pot on top.

Management of the newly bought Kalanchoe during its potting period

First, lighting:

Most of the newly bought Kalanchoe flowers come from greenhouses. Sudden changes in the environment will make the Kalanchoe flowers feel uncomfortable and their leaves will wilt.

We need to imitate the greenhouse environment and provide light to the Kalanchoe. It is recommended that you keep the Kalanchoe in a location where it can get about 3 hours of light in the morning or evening. Then, for about 15 days, slowly increase the light.

Second, temperature:

By the same token, the temperature in the greenhouse where the Kalanchoe originally grew was regulated. The temperature in the greenhouse was mostly at 22 degrees Celsius, with a deviation of about 5 degrees Celsius.

If the Kalanchoe you bought suddenly encounters a temperature difference greater than 10 degrees Celsius in the greenhouse, it will not grow well. We know that the temperature in the greenhouse is about 22 degrees Celsius, so we can get the ideal ambient temperature.

Third, watering:

When you buy a newly bought Kalanchoe, first observe the dryness and wetness of the soil. If it is dry, you can water it directly. If it is semi-dry, you can use a spray to replenish water to the leaves. Never water it blindly.

During daily maintenance, you can wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, and water it thoroughly if it is not dry.

Fourth, fertilization:

It is best not to fertilize the Kalanchoe that has just changed its environment within 20 days. If the leaves of the Kalanchoe do not wilt or turn yellow after about 20 days of buying it home, we can apply a thin organic fertilizer once.

The "nitrogen" in organic fertilizer can promote the growth of leaves and new shoots, and the "phosphorus and potassium" can improve the ability to adapt to the environment and promote rooting.
