How to prune Kalanchoe in autumn

1. Pruning methods

1. Growth period: Generally, after a plant has been raised for a few years, its growth will deteriorate. During the growing season, topping is necessary. That is to remove the topmost branches, which will encourage it to sprout new side buds and increase the number of branches, thus ensuring more flowers and the entire plant shape will become more beautiful. The length of the branches is the basis for judging whether or not to prune them. If they grow to more than twelve centimeters, they need to be topped in time and cut in half so as not to affect their flowering.

2. After flowering: In addition to pruning during the growing season, pruning during the flowering period is also very important. After the flowers wither, cut off the remaining flowers above the second pair of leaves to avoid robbing them of nutrients.

2. The use of branches

These branches can be used for cuttings, so that many new plants can be obtained. The substrate used for cuttings can be sand or vermiculite, which are more breathable and conducive to drainage.

3. Maintenance

After completion, you can put it in a well-ventilated place, preferably with diffuse light. It is also necessary to water it with fertilizer in time to ensure nutrition.
