How to water Kalanchoe

1. Watering principles

(1) It prefers dryness to wetness: Although water is one of the essential factors for its growth. But temporary lack of water will only cause it to grow weaker. However, if there is too much water accumulation, it may cause root rot and the entire plant may die. Hence, this principle.

(2) Water thoroughly when the soil is dry: This principle states that you should wait until the soil is dry before watering. If the soil is not dry, do not water it for the time being. Also, when watering, be sure to water thoroughly, not just wet the surface of the soil.

2. Watering method

Specifically, you can use a watering can or other tools to slowly pour along the edge of the flowerpot, and it is best not to splash on the leaves, especially the flowers. It is best not to pour directly downward from the top of the plant, and do not use the "immersion pot method". There is a simple way to determine whether watering is needed. You can use common tools around you, such as bamboo sticks, small wooden sticks, etc., to insert them into the soil. Take it out after a while and check it. If there is moisture on it, it needs watering.

3. Notes

(1) The interval between two waterings varies in different seasons. Spring and Autumn last about three days. In the summer, it is about five days (because of the high humidity, the soil inside may not dry out quickly, so the interval is generally slightly longer than in spring and autumn). Generally once a week in winter.

(2) Temperature can affect whether watering is needed. If the temperature is above 35 degrees in summer and below 8 degrees in winter, stop watering.
