What fertilizer to use for growing KalanchoeGenerally, flower lovers who have grown Kalanchoe should know that it is necessary to apply growth fertilizer during the growth period of Kalanchoe. Usually apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, or organic cake fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, etc. once a month to promote the nutrients needed for the growth of branches and leaves of Kalanchoe, making its leaves thick and green. Before it blooms, it is used with fertilizers mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium, with potassium dihydrogen phosphate applied every ten days or so. This will help the Kalanchoe to produce more flower buds and produce larger and brighter flowers. So, can we fertilize Kalanchoe when it is blooming? What fertilizer is best to use during the flowering period? Let’s take a closer look at the fertilizer application during the flowering period of Kalanchoe. Is it necessary to fertilize Kalanchoe during its flowering period?Of course, you need to fertilize the Kalanchoe during its flowering period. It should be fertilized not only before it blooms, but also after it blooms. Because the flowering period of Kalanchoe is generally up to 4-5 months, almost half a year. Think about such a long flowering period. The plant needs nutrients to grow and bloom at the same time. If you don't add fertilizer during the flowering process, the Kalanchoe will have small flowers or no flowers due to insufficient fertilizer. Even if the Kalanchoe blooms, the flowers are small and not bright in color. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably during the flowering period of Kalanchoe . What fertilizer is best for longevity flowers during their flowering period?① Topdressing with phosphorus and potassium fertilizersFor Kalanchoe during its flowering period, it is often not enough to rely solely on the fertilizer applied before flowering, after all, Kalanchoe consumes a lot of nutrients during the flowering process. In order to avoid insufficient soil fertility, which may cause the buds of Kalanchoe to fail to open during flowering, it is necessary to add fertilizer appropriately to allow Kalanchoe to continue to bloom. We can add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to make its flowers bloom larger and more colorful . ② Potassium dihydrogen phosphateKalanchoe has abundant flowers and requires a lot of fertilizer during the flowering period. It should be watered with potassium dihydrogen phosphate or Huaduoduo No. 2 every 20 days or so. When spraying, we can mix it with water at a ratio of 1:1000 and water it like watering to promote its continued beautiful flowering. Remember, do not fertilize the Kalanchoe too frequently or too heavily during its flowering period , otherwise excess fertilizer will easily cause the plant to burn out, and the flowers will wither before they bloom. It is better to use a dilute fertilizer. |
