Can Kalanchoe be pruned?Kalanchoe can be pruned. Kalanchoe grows fast and needs to be pruned at least twice a year. One is in spring, after the flowering period. Try to prune off the flower branches, old branches, etc. after the flowers have faded, so that Kalanchoe can sprout more branches in spring. The other is in autumn, before branching. Pruning during the dormant period can retain more nutrients for Kalanchoe and promote the growth of new branches. How to prune KalanchoeWhen pruning Kalanchoe, you should first use scissors to cut off the yellow and overgrown leaves on the bottom layer, so that the plant can receive light evenly and make the soil more breathable. Secondly, prune off all the overgrown, crossed, dry and weak branches, leaving only a few centimeters of branches. Finally, sprinkle some disinfectant on the wounds of the pruned branches, and then place them in a place with mild light and good ventilation for maintenance, waiting for the Kalanchoe to resume normal growth and promote the germination of new buds. Precautions for pruning KalanchoeAfter pruning the Kalanchoe, be sure to disinfect and sterilize the wound to prevent diseases and pests. The pruned Kalanchoe should be placed in a well-ventilated environment for maintenance. Be careful not to water it immediately after pruning, and don't spray water on the leaves. The wounds just pruned are relatively fresh and need to be kept dry to allow the wounds to heal faster. |
