How to prune Kalanchoe? Pruning methods and precautions

Kalanchoe pruning time

Kalanchoe is usually pruned in the autumn of each year, that is, in September after the flowering period ends. Because it consumes a lot of nutrients during the flowering period, some withered flower buds need to be cut off after the flowering period ends, and some poorly growing branches and leaves also need to be cut off to reduce nutrient consumption.

Kalanchoe pruning methods and steps

1. When the Kalanchoe is growing normally, it needs to be topped regularly and the young shoots on the top need to be cut off. This can control its growth trend and make the overall plant shape more beautiful.

2. After the flowering period of Kalanchoe is over, some withered flowers need to be cut off in time, and some poorly growing branches and leaves also need to be properly pruned. This can reduce nutrient consumption and promote nutrient concentration.

Precautions for pruning Kalanchoe

1. When pruning Kalanchoe, you need to be careful. After pruning, you must disinfect it in time to avoid infection, and place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, which will help it recover.

2. When pruning Kalanchoe, you need to control the overall shape and comb out the dense branches to make the plant look more natural, which will increase its ornamental value.
