Blossoming Kalanchoe - home care

Kalanchoe - this is almost a "must-have" of any florist not only because of its beneficial properties. The decorative appearance of this culture is no less popular among lovers of domestic plants. Small, but lovely flowers of various colors decorate the window sill almost in any house. We'll talk about care for Kalanchoe blossoming at home.

The basic rules of care for a flowering Kalanchoe

We recommend placing the pot with a decorative Kalanchoe on the east or west window sill. The flower prefers good lighting, but the direct sunlight from the southern window is harmful to it, since it will lead to burns.

Watering is done only by standing water and, of course, at room temperature. Water Kalanchoe moderately and infrequently, because excessive hydration is fraught with rot and death. Therefore it is better to undercharge than to pour. The plant tolerates drought more easily than water overflow. This is also true of the temperature regime. Comfortably the plant feels in temperature limits + 18 + 21 degrees. However, a decrease to + 7 + 10 is not dangerous for a flower. Spraying the flower is extremely harmful.

The plant does not need to be excessively overfed with fertilizers. Feeding once every 30 days will be enough. We recommend using complexes for succulents or cacti .

Care for a flowering Kalanchoe in winter is somewhat different. Subcortex fertilizer at this time of year does not produce. Watering is very rare, it is important that the earth drift completely dry. To do this, use only water at room temperature. Contain a pot of Kalanchoe in a warm place, where there are no drafts.

Transplantation of Kalanchoe ornamental

This bright representative of succulents grows at a fairly rapid rate, this applies even to the root system. Therefore, the transplantation of Kalanchoe produce annually, using a new pot that has a diameter slightly larger than the old one. The earth should be similar in composition to the old one. It is best to use a substrate for succulents, which are purchased at a specialized store.

The transplantation itself is recommended to be performed by the so-called transshipment method, when the plant is separated together with the earthen coma from the old container. Due to this, the transplant will be successful due to the rapid adaptation of the Kalanchoe.

We hope that the above rules of care for Kalanchoe blooming at home will help grow a luxurious pet with the brightest bloom on your windowsill.
