1. Winter breeding methods

1. Keep warm: Kalanchoe flowers are not cold-tolerant. If the temperature starts to drop in winter, it is necessary to keep warm and keep out the cold. Under normal circumstances, just move it indoors to raise it. The indoor temperature can reach above 12℃, so there is no need to carry out too much protection. If the temperature does not reach 12°C, corresponding measures must be taken. You can put a bag on it to keep it warm.

2. Moisture: slightly moist soil, It is more suitable for longevity flowers to spend the winter, but a slight dryness will not have a big impact, as long as it is not too wet. If necessary, you should also spray water to moisturize from time to time, because indoors are relatively dry in winter, so spraying a little water will also help its growth.

3. Sunshine: During the winter, potted plants should be fully exposed to the sun. You can place potted plants in a sunny place. Usually there is sunlight on the balcony or window near the south. Do not put them in the shade. The sunlight at this time is very weak, and the plants will not be burned even if they are exposed to the sun all day long.

2. Precautions

When maintaining indoors, open doors and windows during the day to ensure good ventilation. Especially in air-conditioned rooms, more windows should be opened, otherwise the environment will be too stuffy and dry, which will be detrimental to its growth.

Whether in the south or the north, it is best to grow it indoors, because it may not freeze to death when the temperature is low, but it will affect its flowering.
