Proper care of Kalanchoe degremon
This is an unpretentious houseplant that does not require constant and frequent attention to itself. Even a novice florist can cope with Kalanchoe without any problems. The most important thing is not to forget the main conditions for caring for Kalanchoe degremon, which are standard for most plants.
The main aspects of care:
- In the hot season, the flower needs intensive watering, and in winter, on the contrary, it needs to be reduced. In order to prevent various fungi and insects from appearing in the soil, the soil should not be too moistened. Watering once a week is ideal for a flower.
- The plant loves bright sunlight. But direct sunlight can harm the flower, so the pot should be placed in a well-lit place, but not directly in the sun.
- The flower does not need constant pruning. This procedure is only necessary to stimulate the plant. Pruning can only be done after the plant has finished flowering.
For normal growth and development, the soil should consist of the following components in equal proportions (1: 1: 1):
- humus;
- leafy land;
- sand.
Sometimes peat and coarse sand are added to the ground, but this is not at all necessary. The flower will feel good without these components.
An undemanding Kalanchoe is suitable for novice growers. It will perfectly fit into the interior of any home due to its compact size.
