How to solve the problem that the buds of Kalanchoe do not bloom

1. Appropriate warming

Reason: The temperature suitable for the growth of Kalanchoe is 15-25℃. Generally, it will bloom more vigorously at 15℃, while the flowering period will be delayed when the temperature is below 5℃.

Solution: Place the Kalanchoe in a sunny place indoors and ensure the temperature is above 12°C. But also avoid high temperatures, as temperatures above 24°C will also inhibit flowering.

2. Increase Lighting

Reason: Insufficient light is one of the main reasons for the failure to flower. Shortage of light leads to less photosynthesis and insufficient nutrients for flowering.

Solution: The daily light exposure time of Kalanchoe is about 8 hours. If it is lower than this time, the flowering period will inevitably be delayed. In addition, direct sunlight should be avoided, and appropriate shade should be provided at noon. When there is sufficient light, a black bag can be covered on the top and removed at night.

3. Timely water control

Reason: After the flower buds of Kalanchoe appear, water should be controlled in time. If you still maintain the previous watering amount, all the nutrients of the plant will be used for growth, thus delaying flowering.

Solution: Generally, water the plant every two to three days to keep the soil slightly moist. During the water control period, the amount of water can be reduced to make the soil slightly dry. This will help promote flowering.

4. Moderate pruning

Cause: The plant is too dense and has too many branches and leaves, which requires a lot of water and nutrients to maintain, so there is not enough nutrients for flowering.

Solution: Prune branches and leaves that are too dense, and remove dead and diseased branches to avoid wasting nutrients. Pruning is also good for the ventilation of the plants, and it also allows them to receive more light.
