Kalanchoe is loved by flower lovers for its diverse varieties and high ornamental value. It is full of vitality and grows rapidly, especially during the New Year holidays, which is the time when Kalanchoe is in full bloom. As long as you take good care of it, the Kalanchoe will thrive and bloom continuously. Let’s learn how to care for and water Kalanchoe in winter. 1. Watering frequency It should not be simply stipulated that watering should be done every few days, because the growing environment and soil conditions of Kalanchoe are different, so watering needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the specific situation. 2. Watering time Kalanchoe is relatively drought-resistant and does not require much water, so it should not be watered frequently to avoid waterlogging and root rot. You can judge whether it needs watering by weighing the flower pot. If the flower pot becomes lighter, it means that water needs to be added. Alternatively, you can determine soil moisture by inserting a wooden chopstick into the pot. If the chopsticks are covered with soil, it means the soil is moist and there is no need to water it immediately; if there is almost no soil on the chopsticks, it means the soil is dry and needs watering. When watering, water slowly until it is thoroughly watered. 3. Best time for watering The temperature is lower in winter. In order to ensure that the Kalanchoe can absorb water quickly, avoid watering when the temperatures are low in the morning and evening to prevent frostbite. It is best to do it at noon when the temperature is higher, and make sure the water temperature is close to the soil temperature to facilitate root absorption and avoid irritating the roots. 4. Watering method It is recommended to use the immersion method when watering, and avoid watering directly on the flower buds, so as to prevent black rot or pests and diseases due to poor ventilation after the flower buds are wet. After each watering, the Kalanchoe should be placed in a well-ventilated place to allow excess water to evaporate. 5. Maintenance tips It is the flowering season of Kalanchoe. It is not recommended to water it with only clean water. You can add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers every week to help promote the flowering of Kalanchoe. Once the flower buds are fully opened, you can stop fertilizing. The above are some tips for caring for Kalanchoe. Learning how to water it correctly is the key.
