The pot planting should be made up of fertile garden soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand in the proportion of 1:2:1. If a small amount of bone powder can be added, the effect will be better. When the seedling grows to 10 cm, it needs to be properly decantered 1-2 times to promote its germination and lateral bud formation as soon as possible.
In addition to shading in midsummer and maintaining 60% light transmittance, normal light in other seasons is good. Try not to pass the shade, otherwise it will easily lead to excessive length of branches and loose plant type.
During the growth of Florist Kalanchoe, it is necessary to rotate the flowerpot frequently, adjust the position of receiving light, make it receive light evenly, and promote the growth of the plant to the symmetrical development of all sides.
Florist Kalanchoe is different from other plants. It has more water content and is more drought resistant. Therefore, it is better not to water too much during the growth period, and keep the basin soil dry. Each watering should be done after the basin soil is completely dry. Generally, water once every 3-4 days; when the weather is dry, the surrounding environment can be humidified by spraying.
Keep the longevity flower away from the wet potting and poor drainage, otherwise it will cause root rot.
Fertilization should be carried out in spring and autumn growth season and after flowering. In general, the plant can grow healthily and bloom luxuriantly by applying thin liquid fertilizer once in 15-20 days or long-term slow-release fertilizer on the surface of basin soil. In order to promote its flowering, color and long flowering period, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be applied 1-2 times to increase the content of potassium element after flower bud formation. Stop fertilizing in winter.
If you want to keep long-lived flowers, pruning is essential. In the peak season of longevity flower growth, it is necessary to pick the heart in time, promote the branch, and make the potted flower grow fuller. Cut off the remaining flowers in time after the flower withers, so as not to consume too much nutrients and affect the next flowering quality.
Florist Kalanchoe is a succulent plant. It doesn't like too much water. It's best to water it before noon. Before dark, make sure the leaves are dry. The water quality is slightly acidic and the salt content cannot be too high.
The flowers grew well under full day light or 60% to 70% astigmatism. But we need to pay attention to the light intensity. The lack of light is easy to make the plants grow in vain, the branches are long and thin, and the leaves are thin and small. The lack of light at the end of autumn will affect flower bud differentiation, reduce the number of flowers, and make up light properly.
Long life flowers are warm, suitable for growing at 20 ℃ to 28 ℃, not more than 30 ℃ in the daytime, not less than 18 ℃ at night, too high or too low temperature will stop their normal growth. When the winter temperature is lower than 8 ℃, the leaves turn red and the flowering period is delayed.
