🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight or soft morning sun.
Tolerates: Moderate light levels, but more light encourages more blooms.
Avoid: Direct, harsh afternoon sunlight, which can damage foliage or flowers.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering.
Frequency: Every 7–10 days in warmer months; less often during winter.
Important: Avoid overwatering — Kalanchoe is a succulent and prefers slightly dry conditions. Always ensure good drainage.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix works best.
Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Avoid: Feeding in winter when the plant is not actively growing.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Deadhead: Remove spent blooms to encourage new ones.
Prune: Trim back leggy stems to maintain a full, compact shape.
Reblooming Tip: After the initial bloom cycle, reduce light and water slightly for a few weeks, then resume bright light to trigger reblooming.
