🌸 Kalanchoe Plant – Pink
The Pink Kalanchoe is a charming, compact succulent prized for its clusters of delicate pink flowers and fleshy, dark green leaves. It’s a popular choice for tabletops, windowsills, and gifting, offering long-lasting blooms with very little maintenance.
🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light is perfect for healthy blooms and compact growth.
Tolerates: A few hours of direct morning sun.
Avoid: Dim or low-light spots — they may lead to stretched stems and reduced flowering.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry completely.
Frequency: About once every 7–10 days in warmer months; reduce to every 2–3 weeks in winter.
Important: Overwatering is the most common issue. Always use pots with drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: A well-draining succulent or cactus mix is best. If using regular potting soil, mix in sand or perlite.
Pot: Ensure it has good drainage. Clay or terracotta pots help prevent moisture buildup.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month during the growing and flowering season (spring to early fall) with a balanced or bloom-enhancing fertilizer.
Skip: Feeding during winter or dormancy.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Deadhead: Remove faded blooms to encourage more flowers.
Prune: Trim any leggy or stretched stems after blooming.
Repot: Every 1–2 years, ideally in spring.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine — no need for misting.
Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
