Plant Care
Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe is a colorful succulent known for its clusters of long-lasting, brightly colored flowers and thick, water-storing leaves. Native to Madagascar, it thrives in dry environments and prefers bright light. With compact growth and cheerful blooms, it’s a favorite for windowsills and gifting occasions. Kalanchoe is also very low maintenance, making it great for beginner plant lovers and busy households.
Watering
Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Allow the soil to fully dry out between waterings—Kalanchoe is drought-tolerant and prone to root rot if overwatered.
Light
Needs bright, indirect light to encourage blooming. Can tolerate some direct sun, especially in the morning. Too little light may reduce flowering.
Fertilizer
Feed once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
Temperature
Prefers temperatures between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and frost.
