Kalanchoe 'Blossfeldiana'

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, commonly known as Flaming Katy or Christmas Kalanchoe, is a compact, flowering succulent prized for its long-lasting blooms and easy-care nature. Native to Madagascar, this plant thrives in warm climates and has become a popular indoor ornamental around the world. This plant features thick, glossy green leaves that store water, making it drought-tolerant and low maintenance. Its most eye-catching feature is its clusters of small, vibrant flowers that bloom in shades of red, pink, orange, yellow, and white. These flowers can last for weeks, even months, especially during winter and early spring, making it a popular choice for seasonal décor and gifts. The flowers are small but abundant, forming dense clusters above the foliage. Their bright colors and long blooming period make them stand out compared to many other indoor succulents. Prefers bright light to full sun. A sunny windowsill is ideal for promoting blooms. Water only when the soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as the plant is sensitive to root rot. Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Thrives in temperatures between 15°C–25°C (59°F–77°F). Protect from frost and cold drafts. Slow to moderate growth. Suitable for USDA zones 10–12 outdoors; commonly grown indoors elsewhere.
