Where to prune Kalanchoe

Where to prune Kalanchoe

1. Location

Pruning after flowering: When pruning it, cut off the flowers first, and then cut off other dead branches and overgrown branches. When pruning flowers, cut off the part below the two pairs of leaves under the flower branch, and also remove side branches such as poorly growing or diseased branches. In addition, some healthy branches should be cut off and used as cuttings to grow into new plants. Generally, after flowering, the branches can be pruned to about 3 cm, and the healthy branches pruned can be used for cuttings.

Pruning during the growing season: When the plant is about 5 cm, the new buds at the top need to be removed; branches higher than 12 cm and some diseased branches can be pruned.

2. Time

The time of pruning is differentiated according to the different growth stages of the plant. Pruning during the growth period should be light, mainly to cut off some branches that destroy the plant shape or are too long, to promote the growth of side branches and the differentiation of flower buds; while pruning after flowering should be heavy, to cut off most of the branches, because the plant enters a dormant period after flowering and does not grow, so the consumption of nutrients should be minimized.

3. Maintenance

Kalanchoe prefers a warm environment and can generally grow normally in an environment of 15-25℃. During the peak growing season, you can increase the amount of water and fertilizer, watering twice a week and fertilizing once every two months.
