This article will introduce you to the cultivation methods of potted Kalanchoe in detail.Choosing the right soilThe soil for potted Kalanchoe should be loose, breathable, and well-draining. You can choose a growing soil made of a mixture of peat soil, decayed leaf soil, and garden soil. According to the "China Flower News", the suitable soil pH for Kalanchoe is between 5.5-6.5, and acidic soil is more beneficial to its growth.Watering appropriatelyKalanchoe does not tolerate waterlogging. Too much watering can cause root rot. The soil should be kept slightly moist. In high summer temperatures, you can slightly increase the watering frequency; in low winter temperatures, you should reduce the number of waterings. When watering, be careful not to let water splash on the leaves to avoid leaf rot.Lighting and temperatureKalanchoe prefers plenty of diffused light and should not be directly exposed to strong sunlight. In high summer temperatures, Kalanchoe should be placed in a ventilated and shady place. In low winter temperatures, you can move Kalanchoe indoors to maintain a room temperature above 10°C. According to the "Flower Magazine", the most suitable growth temperature for Kalanchoe is between 15-25°C.Fertilizing and pruningKalanchoe requires ample nutrients during its vigorous growth period, generally fertilizing once a month with a compound fertilizer. Be careful not to make the concentration too high when fertilizing. After Kalanchoe blooms, you can appropriately reduce the amount of fertilizer. Timely pruning of withered and diseased branches is necessary to keep the plant neat and beautiful.Propagation methodsThe main propagation methods for potted Kalanchoe are division and cutting. Division is suitable for vigorous Kalanchoe. Remove the plant from the pot, divide it into several small plants, and replant them. Cuttings are suitable for slow-growing Kalanchoe. Cut healthy branches into sections and insert them into sandy soil, keeping the soil moist until roots form and then transplant them.By taking care of these five aspects, I believe you have mastered the cultivation methods of potted Kalanchoe.
