• creating a short day in bright light during a rest period;
• choice of a lighted place to live;
• feed before budding phosphorus fertilizers;
• Apply cactus fertilizer monthly.

But it is already clear that flowering is preceded by a period of rest. And at the beginning of this period, the plant is formed, propagated, and fed. The main thing is that they maintain the required daylight hours. Therefore, when acquiring a Kalanchoe, you need to find out its variety and type, find information about care. Only then can a flowering plant be obtained.

Plant rooting is straightforward. If reproduction is carried out by seeds, then the bowl with seeds is covered with a film, but ventilated daily. Seedlings will appear in a month.
