🌼 Kalanchoe Plant – Orange
The Orange Kalanchoe is a compact, flowering succulent known for its vibrant clusters of long-lasting orange blooms and glossy green leaves. Ideal for brightening up indoor spaces, tabletops, or balconies, it’s both decorative and low-maintenance.
🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light promotes flowering and compact growth.
Tolerates: Some direct sunlight, especially morning sun.
Avoid: Low light — it will reduce blooming and cause legginess.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Let the top 2 inches of soil dry out completely between waterings.
Frequency: Once every 7–10 days; less in winter.
Important: Avoid overwatering. Being a succulent, Kalanchoe stores water in its leaves and is prone to root rot in soggy soil.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Add perlite or coarse sand if using regular potting soil.
Pot: Ensure the pot has good drainage. Terracotta pots are especially effective for succulents.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month during the growing and blooming season (spring to early fall) with a diluted balanced or bloom-boosting fertilizer.
Pause: Feeding in winter when the plant is resting.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Deadhead: Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new buds.
Prune: Lightly trim leggy stems after flowering to maintain shape.
Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when rootbound.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Thrives in normal indoor humidity. Avoid excess moisture in the air.
Temperature: Best in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
