How does Kalanchoe survive the winter?

temperature

The temperature for growing Kalanchoe in winter must be above 8 degrees, otherwise the leaves of Kalanchoe will turn red. When the temperature is below 5 degrees, it is easy to frostbite the Kalanchoe and its flowering period will be delayed. The best temperature for growing Kalanchoe in winter is between 12 and 15 degrees.

environment

When growing Kalanchoe indoors in winter, you should choose a place with good lighting, preferably a place where the sun can shine in directly. If there is not enough light, it will easily cause the stems and leaves of the Kalanchoe to grow too long. It should not be placed near the air outlet of the air conditioner or stove, because the temperature of the air outlet is too high and will damage the Kalanchoe. At the same time, good ventilation must be ensured, especially when the indoor temperature is too high. Good ventilation can reduce the occurrence and reproduction of many diseases and pests.

Watering

When watering Kalanchoe in winter, pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the soil. If the soil is dry, it means it is time to water it. There is no fixed time for watering in winter, about once a week is fine. The most foolproof method is to observe the dryness and wetness of the soil. It is better to water when the soil is too dry than to let the soil be too wet. The temperature of the water for watering should be similar to the room temperature. If it is tap water, you can leave it for a while before watering.

Fertilization

There is no need to fertilize Kalanchoe in winter.
