What to do if Kalanchoe grows too tall

What to do if Kalanchoe grows too tall

1. Topping

Reason: Pinching allows the plant to branch out and prevents the main trunk from growing too long.

Treatment method: Pinch off the branches early, one month after the cuttings have survived, and pinch off the branches when the growing branches are 4-6cm.

2. Topping

Reason: Nutrients will be supplied to the top first, and if not handled, the plant will grow too tall.

Treatment method: When the plant grows to about 10cm, leave 3-5 pairs of leaves, knock off the top buds, and then re-cultivate.

3. Pruning

Reason: Too many side branches, poor nutrition, and excessive growth

Treatment method: Cut off the more concentrated and weak branches, and retain the strong and internal branches, so that the flower branches are compact and avoid excessive growth.

4. Note

In order to ensure that the growth shape is controllable, cuttings can be carried out every 2-3 years. Pinching and topping should be stopped one month before the first buds appear.
