When should I repot my Kalanchoe? What should I do if the leaves become soft after repotting?

1. Time to change pots

Choosing the right time to repot the Kalanchoe is not only beneficial for the plant to acclimate to the pot, but also will not have much impact on the plant's later growth. It is better to repot in spring and autumn. The climate in midsummer is too hot and humid, and the temperature in winter is very low, which is not suitable for repotting. Repotting at an inappropriate time may cause it to grow slowly, weaken its root system, and make it difficult for it to bloom.

2. What to do if the leaves become soft after repotting

After repotting, the plant needs to slow down. During the slow growth period, the leaves will be softer than in the growth period because it has not yet adapted to the new environment, so this is a normal phenomenon. Usually after repotting, you should put it in a place without direct sunlight and wait for it to recover before it can start to see the sun properly.

3. Notes on changing pots

1. Potting soil: The new flower pot should be clean and sterile, so after preparing the flower pot, wash it with water first. It is best to soak it in hot water to disinfect it. After the soil is prepared, it must also be disinfected and then dried before use.

2. Potting method: When potting, the roots should be allowed to fully stretch out, and the roots must not be damaged. If the roots become bent or damaged, it will greatly hinder its growth. Also, when filling the soil, try not to fill the flower pot with soil, try to keep a distance of 2 cm.
