Kalanchoe pruning timeKalanchoe is usually pruned around May in spring and around August in autumn. It should be noted that when pruning in autumn, it should not be pruned after September, because it will produce flower buds after September, and pruning at this time will affect the later flowering. After pruning the Kalanchoe during the seedling stage, its height can be well controlled, and more side branches can be sprouted, making its plant shape look fuller. Pruning during the growing season is more beneficial to its growth because it can make nutrients more concentrated and reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. How to prune Kalanchoe1. Topping in time When the Kalanchoe grows to 12-15 cm, it needs to be topped in time and the tender buds on the top need to be removed. This will control its growth height and promote the growth of side branches. In the later stage, it is necessary to decide whether to top it based on its growth. 2. Pruning during the growing season During the growing period of Kalanchoe, some branches that grow too densely or are too thin need to be pruned off, so that the branches and leaves can have good ventilation and light transmittance. When the overgrown branches are found, they should also be pruned off to make the nutrients more concentrated. 3. Pruning after flowering Kalanchoe needs to be pruned after flowering. When pruning, only 3 cm high branches need to be retained, and the rest need to be completely cut off. The cut branches can be propagated by cuttings, and have a high survival rate. |
