Colour your life with the Kalanchoe
Tips for the care of your Kalanchoe
You will see that the
Kalanchoe gives a lot of pleasure and demands very little in return. It is a
strong and low maintenance plant and if you take care of it as follows, it will
show you how content it is:
- Water: in summer water once a week, in winter water
every fourteen days. In winter this depends somewhat on where the plant is
situated, if it is near a radiator then it needs watering more often;
- Plant food: Give the plant a few drops of plant food in
water every 2 to 3 weeks;
- Temperature: Room temperature is ideal, but the
Kalanchoe will do well in temperatures between 12°C and 30°C;
- Dead flowers: For a good continuous flowering period do
not deadhead, this also avoid damage to new buds;
- Position: It prefers a sunny spot. The Kalanchoe also
does well in full sun;
- Consumption: The Kalanchoe is a decorative plant and is
not edible.
