At home, Kalanchoe does not require careful care.
As reported by ADVICE.NEWS , infrequent watering is sufficient both in winter and summer.
But there are still a few things that every grower involved in growing this flower should know.
Where should the Kalanchoe flower stand?
Let us repeat, Kalanchoe is a plant that does not require careful care.
Window sills of different "directions" are suitable for it, that is, those that face different sides. It grows well in the sun and in partial shade, and is not afraid of direct sunlight.
How to care for Kalanchoe
A few words about watering: proper care of the flower involves watering once a week, this is enough.
Please note: do not allow the soil to dry out excessively, which often leads to the death of the plant.
The choice of soil is simple, there are no special requirements. The soil used is the same as for cacti - it can be purchased at a flower shop.
What Kalanchoe doesn't like
Kalanchoe loves bright but diffused sunlight.
At the same time, unlike other indoor flowers, it prefers short daylight hours (no more than 10-12 hours) and does not need additional lighting in winter.
In summer, it is recommended to place the succulent on eastern and western windows, and in winter - on southern windows.
When to prune Kalanchoe
Pruning is often done for preventative purposes.
The optimal time for this is late and very early spring.
This is the time when shoot growth is activated or the plant comes out of dormancy.
If the plant is located on a southern windowsill, it is better to shape its crown in November.
