How to prune Kalanchoe after it blooms

1. Time Selection

After the flowers have bloomed, there is no need to prune them immediately. You can choose to prune them in the second week after flowering. At this time, the nutrients are almost consumed and systematic pruning can be carried out.

2. How to prune

1. Prepare tools: Before pruning, you must first prepare the tools. You need to prepare a pair of sharp scissors. It is best to disinfect them in advance to prevent infection of the wound.

2. Withered flowers: The first thing to do is to remove the withered flowers cleanly. They cannot be left there, otherwise they may cause rot.

3. Old branches: Old branches that have bloomed must be removed. Leaving them on will only consume nutrients and will not produce flowers again. There are also some dead branches that need to be removed.

4. Flower buds: There may still be some unopened flower buds on the plant. These will not produce good quality flowers if left alone. You can cut them off at this time to avoid affecting the later growth of the plant.

3. Maintenance afterwards

After pruning is completed, you cannot leave it alone. You can spray some water on the branches to moisturize them and promote continued growth. Don't be exposed to too strong light first, you can be exposed to astigmatism first.
