3. Precautions

Fertilizing Kalanchoe flowers should be carried out in spring and autumn. Do not fertilize when the plant growth stops in summer and winter. When fertilizing, avoid rainy days and weather with strong sunlight. It can be done on sunny days. Don't over-fertilize, as fertilizer damage is easy to occur. If the leaves become soft and turn yellow after fertilizing, you need to water it and rinse off the excess fertilizer to get better. If the roots are burned, the roots need to be pruned and the soil needs to be replaced and replanted.

1. Fertilization time

During the growth period of longevity flower, top dressing must be carried out regularly. Only in this way will there be enough nutrients to support its growth. The time to fertilize is in spring and autumn. It will continue to grow during these two times, but will go dormant in summer and winter. Do not fertilize it after it stops growing. In addition, you should pay more attention when fertilizing. It should be done on a sunny day. Do not fertilize on a rainy day or when there is strong sunlight. Not only will the effect not be good, but it may also affect its growth.

2. What to do if the leaves become soft and yellow after fertilization

If you apply a large amount of fertilizer to longevity flowers, or the concentration of fertilizer is relatively high, it will cause the leaves to become soft and yellow. Be sure to stop fertilizing at this time and do not continue fertilizing for the time being. If necessary, pour some water into the soil to flush excess fertilizer from the soil. If the situation persists after a period of time, it is likely that the roots are burned and the roots should be removed from the pot and trimmed in time. Note that since the roots have rotted, the previous soil needs to be replaced because there will be bacteria in it.

3. Precautions

Reasonable fertilization of longevity flowers can promote its growth, but improper fertilization will harm its growth. The frequency of fertilization should be controlled well. During the growing season, fertilization is usually applied once every half month, and fertilization should not be applied too frequently. Also, the concentration of fertilizer applied should be as low as possible because it does not like high-concentration fertilizers.
