1. Maintenance methods1. Soil: Kalanchoe is suitable for growing in sandy soil with good drainage. When preparing potting soil, you can use a mixture of rotted leaves and peat ash. Then add some river sand, shell powder, etc. to mix it. 2. Flower pot: Kalanchoe prefers small flower pots. When choosing a flower pot, it is best not to choose a flower pot that is simple to make and not durable. You can choose some small flower pots with good drainage and good ventilation. For example, ceramic pots and purple clay pots. 3. Light: It prefers sunlight, so you can let it get more sunlight to ensure it can grow healthily. It is afraid of exposure to the sun. If it is summer, you need to temporarily move it to a cooler place to avoid being exposed to the sun. In other seasons, just let it receive normal sunlight. 4. Moisture: It does not need more moisture because it needs to maintain a dry environment. Therefore, it is not suitable to water it frequently. Generally, watering it three times a month is sufficient. During the hot weather in spring and summer, you should water the plant more appropriately so that the leaves will not lack water. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: It can be sown all year round. However, the best sowing season is winter, so that the plant can grow fully in winter and spring, and also help it survive the summer. Use the cutting method to insert it into the soil away from the shade, and it will take root and sprout in two weeks. 2. Pruning: In order to keep the potted Kalanchoe beautiful and elegant in shape, it is necessary to prune it regularly and cut off its too dense branches and leaves. This will keep the flowers well-nourished. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Leaf blight: It will be affected by leaf blight and develop spots on the leaves. After the disease occurs, the diseased leaves should be removed in time and treated by spraying with carbendazim. 2. Pests: It will be attacked by cyprid beetles. After the insects are infested, you can use a small brush to drive them away, and use imidacloprid to kill the larvae and protect the potted plants. IV. Other issues1. Can it be raised indoors? Because it likes dryness, it is recommended to be raised in a dry place indoors. Ventilate frequently during maintenance. 2. Is it toxic? Kalanchoe is toxic and has low nutritional value, so try not to eat it. |
