Kalanchoe can safely be considered one of the most spectacular plants, especially when it comes to the flowering period.
However, the plant does not always “please” its owner.
Therefore, it is necessary to correctly establish the cause, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
Why Kalanchoe Refuses to Bloom
Light
During the cold season, Kalanchoe has a hard time: the plant needs at least half a day of light in order to bloom.
If this point cannot be achieved in a natural way, then phytolamps can always come to the rescue.
Temperature
Despite the fact that Kalanchoe is a "guest" from the tropics, it needs a moderate temperature. The optimal indicator will be 17 degrees.
Soil
Not everyone knows that Kalanchoe has the same soil requirements as succulents. It is also important to understand that the plant may not bloom only because it lacks nutrients.
Therefore, it is important to introduce fertilizers in a timely manner.
Water
It is important to remember that Kalanchoe does not need a lot of water. In the cold season, watering is carried out only once every seven days. In the warm season, we increase the number of waterings to two.
Spraying is carried out only if extremely hot weather sets in.
