Description
Florist favorite Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a live succulent houseplant that features flowers in a range of bright colors among different varieties. Yours will arrive with a terracotta clay pot. The mass of adorable, long-lasting flower clusters shines over shiny, dark green leaves with scalloped edges. From yellow and white to red, coral and bright orange, the flower colors have a way of brightening one’s-day, which makes sense for a flowering succulent known as flaming Katy. This plant does not require bright light to flower, which makes it an excellent addition as a houseplant or for an indoor dish garden or centerpiece. Your plant will come fully rooted and include a white glazed clay pot. This cheery easy-to-grow, low-maintenance plant doesn’t require much to thrive. It can grow outdoors in mild climates (USDA Zones 9-11), brought inside in cooler climates for winter, or grown indoors-year-round. Deadhead to tidy up the plant and encourage more flowers to open. To get the plant to rebloom, give it a rest period of 6 to 8-weeks of low light/darkness for 14-hours a-day, little water, and no fertilizer. Once this period is over, resume watering and optionally feed with a 0-10-10 or similar fertilizer to encourage health and bud formation. Before you initiate this rest period, allow your kalanchoe to put on some leafy, branchy green growth – seemingly nonstop flowering is tough, exhausting work for a plant.
