When to fertilize Kalanchoe? What to do if the leaves turn soft and yellow after fertilization?

1. Fertilization time

During the growth period of Kalanchoe, top dressing should be carried out regularly. Only in this way will there be enough nutrients to support its growth. The best time to apply fertilizer is in spring and autumn. It will continue to grow at these two times, but it will hibernate in summer and winter. Do not fertilize it after it stops growing. In addition, you should also pay more attention when applying fertilizer. It should be done on sunny days. Do not apply fertilizer on rainy days or when there is strong sunlight. Not only will the effect be poor, it may also affect its growth.

2. What to do if the leaves turn soft and yellow after fertilization

If you apply too much fertilizer to the Kalanchoe or the fertilizer concentration is too high, the leaves will become soft and turn yellow. At this time, you must stop fertilizing and do not continue fertilizing for the time being. If necessary, add some water to the soil to flush any excess fertilizer out of the potting soil. If this continues after a period of time, it is very likely that the roots are burned, and you need to remove the plant from the pot and trim the roots in time. Note that since the roots have rotted, the previous soil must be replaced because it contains bacteria.

3. Notes

Reasonable fertilization of Kalanchoe can promote its growth, but improper fertilization will harm its growth. The frequency of fertilization must be controlled. During the growing season, fertilization is generally applied once every half a month. It should not be applied too frequently. Also, the concentration of fertilizer applied should be as low as possible because it does not like high concentrations of fertilizer.
