FAQs
How often should I water my Kalanchoe?
Water only when the top inch of soil has dried out. In the winter, you can wait until the soil is almost completely dry.
Can I grow this plant outdoors?
Kalanchoes are tropical succulents and generally prefer indoor conditions unless you live in a frost-free, temperate climate.
Does this come with a decorative pot?
No, the plant is shipped in a 10.5cm plastic growing pot. You will need to provide your own decorative outer pot.
How much light does it need?
It thrives in bright, sunny spots. A south or west-facing window is usually ideal.
Is this plant safe for pets?
Kalanchoe species can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best to keep it out of reach of curious pets.
Will it bloom again after the flowers fade?
Kalanchoes can bloom again, but they require specific periods of darkness and bright light cycles to trigger new bud formation.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing or mushy leaves
This is a primary sign of over-watering. Allow the soil to dry completely and ensure the pot has proper drainage.
Leggy or stretched stems
The plant is reaching for more light. Move it to a spot that receives more hours of direct sunlight per day.
Flowers fading quickly
Ensure the plant is not in a room that is too warm or near a heating vent, which can dehydrate the blooms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, keep the plant in its 10.5cm nursery pot until it has acclimated to your home's temperature for a few days. If you choose to repot, ensure you use a pot with adequate drainage holes to prevent root rot, as the plant does not like to sit in water.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. During winter months, reduce watering frequency even further.
Lighting: Place in a bright location with plenty of indirect or direct sunlight.
Temperature: Keep the plant away from drafty windows or heating vents; it prefers standard room temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.
