How to repot Kalanchoe

1. Time to change pots

It is not recommended to change the pot of Kalanchoe during its flowering period, as this will cause some damage to the roots and affect flowering. Pruning and repotting after flowering can also allow it to store more nutrients, making it more conducive to blooming again.

2. Repotting Method

1. Prepare the soil: Kalanchoe needs a loose soil matrix with good drainage and air permeability to grow. You can mix it with leaf mold, garden soil, river sand and an appropriate amount of perlite, or you can use peat soil, vermiculite and garden soil. It is best to add appropriate base fertilizer to the soil.

2. Remove from the pot: Slowly take the Kalanchoe plant out of its original pot. If you are simply changing the pot after pruning and not because of disease, you do not need to remove the old soil. Otherwise, you need to re-prune the roots and remove some of the old soil of the plant itself.

3. Flower pot: When changing the pot, the flower pot should not be too big, just slightly larger than the original pot.

4. Potting: Put some pebbles at the bottom of the pot to enhance air permeability. Place the plant in the pot and fill it with soil. After repotting, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool place for about 3-5 days. After it adapts, you can maintain it normally.
