Plant Care

• Light - Kalanchoe plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight. In the summer, place them near an east- or west-facing window, and in the winter, place them near a south-facing window. Avoid placing them directly in a windowsill, as direct sunlight can burn the leaves.
• Watering - Kalanchoe plants are succulents and store water in their leaves, so they require minimal watering. In general, only water your kalanchoe when the top few centimeters of soil are dry. Too much water can damage the roots and stem, causing the plant to collapse.
• Darkening - To trigger flowering, kalanchoe plants need at least 14 hours of darkness for six weeks straight. In a closet or cabinet, put the plant away from 6 PM to 8 AM, and reduce watering and feeding during this time. After six weeks, the plant should bloom with colorful flowers.
• Sunburn - Brown patches on the leaves may indicate sunburn. If this happens, move the plant out of direct sunlight.
• Trimming - Once the flowers fade, you can trim the heads to enjoy the succulent foliage.
