Cultivation methods and precautions for potted Kalanchoe

1. Breeding methods

1. Fertilization: It does not have very high requirements for fertilizer. Generally, apply compound fertilizer and liquid fertilizer once every half a month during the growing season, and apply phosphorus, potassium dihydrogen phosphate or calcium phosphate when the buds bloom. This way, the flowers will be bright and the flowering period will be long.

2. Soil: It cannot grow in heavy clay soil, otherwise it will grow poorly, and in severe cases it will cause the death of the plant. You can make it yourself with leaf mold, garden soil, and sandy river soil in a ratio of 4:4:2. This kind of soil is relatively loose.

3. Light: It prefers sunlight. When cultivating it, it should be placed in a place with scattered light to ensure that it has plenty of sunlight. It should not be placed under strong light in midsummer to avoid excessive light that will burn the leaves.

4. Watering: Like other succulents, it is drought-resistant, so do not water it too often. Generally, water it once every 2-3 days to ensure that the soil is slightly moist. Control the amount of water when the temperature is low.

2. Precautions

If there is not enough light, the branches will be thin and the leaves will be loose, which will seriously affect the appearance.
