Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe, the name sounds particularly positive, so it is a flower that people love to grow. It is really suitable for the elderly to grow, and it is not very troublesome to grow.

Maintenance points

Kalanchoe needs sufficient light to grow. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow too tall, which will affect flowering and in severe cases will even cause leaves to fall off.

In addition, when growing Kalanchoe, you need to rotate the flower pot frequently, because Kalanchoe is phototropic, and rotating the flower pot can make it receive light evenly.

When fertilizing Kalanchoe, it is necessary to apply thin fertilizers frequently. Generally, Kalanchoe can be fertilized with phosphorus fertilizer 1-2 times a month. When fertilizing, attention should be paid to the peak growth period in spring and autumn and after flowering.

When the Kalanchoe is growing, it needs to be pinched.

The main method of propagation of Kalanchoe is cutting propagation.

Clivia

Clivia is quite ornamental. In addition, there are many pores and hairs on the leaves of Clivia, which can absorb dust and harmful substances in the air and keep the indoor air clean. Therefore, it is more suitable for breeding by the elderly.

Maintenance key

Clivia likes scattered light, so the light should not be too strong or too hidden. It is best to place it in a brightly lit living room.

When growing Clivia, you need to rotate the flowerpot frequently to make the leaves grow more neatly.

As for fertilization, nitrogen fertilizer is generally applied once every half a month during the growth period, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added before flowering to make the flowers larger and more colorful and avoid pinching the arrows.

Wiping the leaves of Clivia with beer can make them shiny and glossy.

After the orchid blooms, the withered stems should be cut off to avoid nutrient consumption. After cutting off the pedicels, use soft gauze dipped in 0.1% DDT solution to wipe the orchid leaves to remove insect eggs, dust, etc.

Honeysuckle not only has beautiful flowers, but also has high medicinal value. It is very suitable for planting by elderly people who are weak and have chronic diseases.
