Key points for watering Kalanchoe

How to water Kalanchoe

It is best to water the Kalanchoe in the morning and evening in summer. Watering at these two times gives the plant enough time to absorb water.

Precautions for watering Kalanchoe

1. After repotting the Kalanchoe, you can water it once, and make sure it is watered thoroughly. Then keep it in a semi-shaded and ventilated place. This can promote root growth and is beneficial to the recovery of the plant.

2. Kalanchoe is not resistant to high temperature weather. Water evaporates quickly in summer. At this time, be careful not to water it excessively or too frequently. Sometimes the surface of the soil is dry but the bottom is not dry. Watering can easily cause root rot due to moist soil. Watering once every 3-5 days is enough. If the maintenance temperature is below 8 degrees, stop watering. If you need to water, the water temperature needs to be close to room temperature.
