How to grow Kalanchoe

1. Soil

When planting Kalanchoe, you should choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil, and avoid heavy clay soil. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand in a ratio of 4:2:2.

2. Lighting

Kalanchoe likes sunlight and needs to be placed in a sunny place such as a balcony. Appropriate shading can be provided in the summer, but sufficient light is needed all year round.

3. Moisture

Kalanchoe itself still has a lot of water and has strong drought resistance, so it does not need to be watered frequently. Water every 2-3 days during the growing season, and reduce the number of waterings during the winter dormancy period.

4. Temperature

The suitable temperature during the growing period is 20-25℃, and the temperature should be kept at 16-20℃ during the winter dormancy period so that it can bloom around the Spring Festival. Temperatures below 5°C will cause the leaves to turn red and delay flowering.

5. Fertilization

Fertilize once every 15-20 days during the growing season, and choose a dilute compound liquid fertilizer to make the growth faster; after the flower buds are formed, apply 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution.
