2. How to Care for Kalanchoe 🌞
☀️ Light Requirements
✅ Prefers bright, indirect sunlight (4-6 hours daily).
✅ Avoid direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
✅ Can tolerate some shade, but blooms best with plenty of light.
💡 A sunny windowsill is the best spot for a thriving Kalanchoe!
💦 Watering Needs
✅ Water sparingly – Allow the soil to dry between waterings.
✅ Overwatering can cause root rot, so use a well-draining pot.
✅ In winter, reduce watering even more (once every 2 weeks).
💡 Stick your finger in the soil—if the top 2 inches are dry, it’s time to water!
🌿 Soil & Potting
✅ Use light, well-draining soil, such as cactus or succulent mix.
✅ A pot with drainage holes prevents water buildup.
✅ Repot every 2 years to refresh the soil and promote growth.
💡 Mix sand or perlite into the soil for extra drainage!
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
✅ Prefers warm temperatures (60-85°F / 16-29°C).
✅ Avoid extreme cold—keep indoors if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).
✅ Does well in normal indoor humidity levels.
💡 If kept outdoors, bring it inside during colder months!
🌼 Encouraging Blooms
✅ Trim dead flowers to promote new blooms.
✅ Reduce watering & light exposure after blooming to trigger new flower growth.
✅ Kalanchoe is a short-day plant—it blooms when exposed to long nights and short days.
💡 Cover the plant with a dark cloth for 12-14 hours at night for 4-6 weeks to encourage flowering!
