Today I share with you a simple but valuable advice. What to look for in order to admire the colorful blooms for months?

Let it be clear

The older generation of Kalanchoe known in a slightly different form. Vnesom immediately clear. Kalanchoe - this is not a certain flower. Kalanchoe - genus of succulent plants. Exotic name are dozens of species!

Russian florist know 2 types:

• Kalanchoe Degremon - the same "family doctor" with strange babies at the edges of the leaves;
• Kalanchoe blossfeldiana - profusely flowering houseplant, sold today in stores.

Now I will write, how you can create for the last almost ideal conditions!

On the way to the bright blooms

Let's first decide where to put a pot with a cherished flower. At home Kalanchoe prefers to grow in partial shade.

But this - in Africa! We, in cold Russia, "Blossfeld" will feel good on the east window, and another on the south and east.

However, in the latter cases in the summer of Kalanchoe thank for pritenenie. Just like most other houseplants. Except for those that prefer the scorching rays of the sun.

But in the shadow of kalanchoe is not quite beautiful: a loose bush, and malovyrazitelnoe flowering... Consider whether the guest receives from Africa needed him enough sun?

How to care for your favorite flower? Quickly run through the points:

• One can not ignore that Kalanchoe - a true succulent. The plant has a craving for hoarding. Including water. Yes, it is for him and moisture reserves need interesting fleshy leaves. Therefore Kalanchoe rarely watered as soon as the earth on top is completely dry. The frequency of watering is not exactly prompt, because it depends on many factors. The main thing you remember - the lower the temperature and humidity in the room, the less it is necessary to take into the hands of a watering can.

• In Kalanchoe has an amazing ability - to bloom almost all year round. Trying month after month. Therefore, during the entire time of his fertilize mineral fertilizer for flowering.
• Spring make foliar fertilizer - spray the solution of potassium monophosphate leaflets. And you'll be surprised how quickly respond to the Kalanchoe is a feast of fresh umbrellas. Fertilizer can be repeated in mid-summer, if by this time the bloom began to wane

And, most importantly: Kalanchoe should be renewed. When the stalks are drawn, boldly cut on cuttings and rooting them again. Otherwise you'll have to admire the rare leaf garland instead of a lush bush. It's the nature of a flower, against which, as they say, do not trample.
