Kalanchoe is a succulent plant that is easy to care for and adds vibrancy to any indoor space. It’s best to keep it in an area with bright, indirect light. Water it only when the soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can cause root rot and under-watering can cause it to wither.
Kalanchoe doesn’t need much fertilizer, but applying it every six months can help it grow. When the plant blooms, removing the dead flowers can increase its overall lifespan.
Propagation is also simple. Cut off a leaf and let it callous over for a few days before placing it in a pot of soil. Within a few weeks, you’ll see new growth.
The plant is not entirely immune to pests. Mealybugs may infest the leaves of your kalanchoe. If you spot them, use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove it.
Kalanchoe care always includes making sure it gets enough light and water. Too much of either one can be bad for it.
Remember to treat your kalanchoe with care, and it will bloom beautifully and bring joy to any space it occupies.
