2. Topping position

Topping Kalanchoe flowers is usually done after the weather warms up in spring, because the topping plants recover quickly at this time and will sprout more branches and leaves. If you want to top the cuttings of the seedlings, wait until they grow to 4-6cm, and then pick them again in September-October. If you want to make the plants fuller, you can also do it when they are growing well. The position of topping is to keep the plant at a certain height and remove the new shoots at the top.

1. Topping season

Topping of longevity flowers is usually done in spring, when the climate warms and the plants gradually grow new leaves. At this time, the plant will recover quickly, grow more new branches and leaves, and its flowering volume will also increase. The cuttings of the seedlings are usually topping when they grow to about 4-6 centimeters, and then again around September-October. If it is a small seedling from cuttings, it will be enough to top it off about 2-3 times.

If the growth height of the plant is controlled by topping, Then you can choose to do it between March and September. After September, you should avoid topping as much as possible to avoid affecting flowering. Also, if you want the plant to have a fuller shape, you should do it when it first starts to grow vigorously. This will help the plant branch more.

2. Topping position

Topping after cutting is to remove the new buds at the top of the plant. For the first time, the height of the plant can be kept about 5 cm, and the excess must be removed. When topping again, do it at a height of about 12 cm. When topping, some branches and leaves should be retained, otherwise photosynthesis will be affected.
