Flowering Kalanchoe

The Flowering Kalanchoe, also known as Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, is a popular houseplant that produces clusters of brightly colored flowers in shades of red, pink, orange, yellow, and white, making it a great choice for adding a pop of color to any indoor space.

Allow the Flowering Kalanchoe’s soil to become 100% dry between waterings. Be careful not to overwater as their roots are prone to root rot. Water slowly, allowing it to soak into the soil, until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. Discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.

Your plant will need plenty of bright light to bloom. It will do best by a sunny south or west window.

To help the Flowering Kalanchoe rebloom, place it in complete darkness at night for 12-14 hours (closets work best) and then bright light for 10-12 hours. Also, pinch back or cut dead flowers to encourage more blooms.

Flowering Kalanchoe plants are considered to be toxic to pets.

WILTING LEAVES AND STEMS: If the leaves and stems of the Flowering Kalanchoe are wilting, it could be a sign of underwatering or overwatering. To fix this issue, make sure to water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch, and then allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering again. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.

YELLOWING LEAVES: If the leaves of the Flowering Kalanchoe are turning yellow, it could be a sign of too much direct sunlight or over-fertilization. To fix this issue, move the plant to a location with bright, indirect light, and reduce the frequency of fertilization or use a weaker fertilizer.
