Can anyone help me with my Kalanchoe? I got it six weeks ago and the blooms were great. I know blooms die off, but the new blooms are either brown or dry and don’t open, or don’t open fully. At first I thought they were maybe sun burned and discovered they need some darkness. So I made sure to keep it not too close to the window and to give it less sun. But then I’ve wondered if it’s overwatering. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
I just repotted my plant last night, mainly because I noticed that the flowers were doing the same thing. But I also noticed when I took the plant out of the soil, I never fluffed the roots. The roots were still in its original shape when they were in the nursery pot. So I fluffed the roots, put it in brand new soil and placed it across the room from my brightest window and I’m hoping that will help it grow a little more. So have you tried fluffing your roots before you repotted it?
1 gillaI haven’t repotted it, as it didn’t seem like it needed repotting. But I am going to repot today and hope that helps. Do you use cactus/succulent soil?
0 gillningar Cactus and succulent soil are very similar cactus soil is just a little bit dryer. But I have mine in a very coarse, potting soil. And I only water it when it’s almost completely dry. But since it’s been re-potted at a week now, I won’t know any differences yet, but my plant hasn’t gone into shock so that’s a good sign.
