After the bloom of the Kalanchoe, give it a cut
A small piece of experience knowledge, introducing the Kalanchoe cutting after its bloom, let's take a look together!
Before getting into the topic, let me ask you a question:
How many times can a蟹爪兰 (Disocactus) bloom in a year? How many times can a Kalanchoe bloom in a year?
If you also think that蟹爪兰 and Kalanchoe bloom only once a year, then you must read the following content patiently, because it will subvert your understanding of蟹爪兰 and Kalanchoe!
In fact, after蟹爪兰 and Kalanchoe finish blooming, with a little bit of treatment, they can bloom again, once, twice, or even three times. This is also why we can still buy Kalanchoe and蟹爪兰 full of flower buds in the flower market near summer.
Enough chit-chat, let's get to the main point, how to make蟹爪兰 and Kalanchoe bloom multiple times a year?
Firstly, we need to understand that both Kalanchoe and蟹爪lan are short-day flowering plants, they can only form flower buds and bloom under short-day conditions, so the normal blooming period starts from the beginning of autumn when they start to grow flower buds, blooming in autumn and winter.
Technique 1 for蟹爪lan to bloom multiple times a year: Trim the spent flowers in time

When you find that the flowers of蟹爪lan are starting to wilt, it means they are about to fade, and they don't have much ornamental value left. But if you leave them, they will consume the nutrients of the plant. To continue blooming later, you must剪掉 (cut off) the spent flowers in time.
2. Trim the branches promptly after flowering
Many flower enthusiasts don't know how to prune蟹爪lan and often don't prune it after the flowering period, letting it grow wild. Many蟹爪lan plants have long branches when they bloom. If you don't prune them after flowering and let them continue to grow, it is easy to have problems with weak leaves and the branches are prone to falling over.
So, after flowering, you should trim the branches in time. If the original branches are not very long, you can cut them when trimming the spent flowers, including two leaves.
