Is there help for my Kalanchoe plant?
+5
I received this for Valentines Day. I cleaned it up once and remove damaged leaves but the white (powdery mildew?) is back, it is not blooming like it should. It get lots of sunlight in the office. I am sure it came with this problem as the Flower Shop called once and asked if mine look ok, some others in their shipment had a problem but she did not say what.
Neem oil. This stuff is amazin, it works on plants for many problems and it is good for people as well. You can get it at mitre 10 and other plant shops. Google this stuff and read up about it, like I said, it is amazin.
i would repot fertalize lightly and use white oil spray as you cant kill them dont overwater them
The plant is loaded with powdery mildew. the only way it will be saved is re-potting it in succulent soil.Spray the entire plant down with a organic fungicide.
Thanks I figured on the spraying but did not think about repotting.
This plant loves neglect. After you take care of the fungus, and repot it in succulent soil, move it to a dark area of the room and only water lightly when it's totally dry. They have a small root system so you may not need to enlarge your pot. This is also a winter bloomer. This means it only blooms with shorter days, less light. Sometimes it skips blooming at all.
If you want to propagate it, just snap off a long stem and stick it in dirt. It roots easily and quickly.
i cant kill the stuff. my mom decided to pay me a visit... and i work nights- so i sleep all day. she took about 12 cuttings& all grew. i wound up putting them in the garbage.
