Is Kalanchoe afraid of cold?Kalanchoe is not cold-resistant and is afraid of freezing in winter. Kalanchoe is suitable for growing at a temperature of 20~25°C. When caring for it in winter, the plant should be moved indoors in time for maintenance. Generally speaking, as long as the Kalanchoe is properly cared for, it will not be frozen to death. If the outdoor temperature in the south is not particularly low, there is no problem keeping it outdoors for the winter. However, the outdoor temperature in the north is very low, and it will be frozen if left outdoors. Therefore, the plant should be moved indoors for maintenance when winter comes. How to care for Kalanchoe in winter1. Plenty of sunlight Normally, Kalanchoe needs to grow in sufficient sunlight, especially in winter when the sunlight intensity is weaker. Giving it sufficient sunlight can allow it to grow healthily. 2. Control water and stop fertilizer Kalanchoe likes to grow in moist soil and needs to be provided with a lot of nutrients, but every winter you need to control water and stop fertilizing, otherwise the plant will grow poorly. 3. Indoor heating The cultivation method of Kalanchoe in winter is very simple. Kalanchoe is not very cold-resistant. Usually if the temperature is lower than 5℃, it is easily frostbitten. 4. Pruning in winter In fact, when the weather gradually turns cooler at the beginning of winter, you can trim the overly dense branches and leaves of the Kalanchoe, and you can also cut off the parts that affect the growth and appearance of the plant, so that it can grow better. 5. Sunbathe The sunlight in winter is relatively mild. If you place the Kalanchoe in the sun, it will not only prevent it from being frostbitten by low temperature, but also make its leaves grow more shiny. In winter, try to make every branch and leaf receive light, and you can place it in the sun and turn the pot from time to time. Precautions for winter cultivation of Kalanchoe1. When caring for Kalanchoe indoors, you should open doors and windows more often during the day to ensure good ventilation, especially in air-conditioned rooms, you should open windows more often, otherwise it will be detrimental to its growth. 2. When caring for Kalanchoe in winter, you cannot use soil that is too sticky. It is best to mix leaf mold, river sand, and garden soil together and then plant it. When it blooms, the soil needs to be kept breathable, which can promote the Kalanchoe to bloom more, larger, and brighter flowers. 3. When caring for Kalanchoe in winter, you must pay attention to keeping it warm. When the temperature rises slightly, spray it with some potassium dihydrogen phosphate. This will produce more flower buds and promote flowering. 4. When caring for Kalanchoe in winter, be careful not to water it too much, because the temperature is too low and it is difficult for the water to evaporate, which can easily lead to root rot. After watering, remember to ventilate it and place it in a sunny place indoors. |
