🌿 Kalanchoe Plant – Yellow
The Yellow Kalanchoe is a cheerful, flowering succulent prized for its clusters of vibrant yellow blooms and fleshy green leaves. With its sunny color and compact size, it’s perfect for adding a pop of brightness to desktops, windowsills, or gift arrangements.
🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light.
Tolerates: Some direct morning sun, which can enhance blooming.
Avoid: Harsh afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and deep shade, which may reduce flowering.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out between waterings.
Frequency: Water once every 7–10 days. Reduce in cooler months.
Important: Do not overwater — as a succulent, it stores moisture in its leaves and is prone to root rot if kept too wet.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
Pot: Use a pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape easily.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing in fall and winter, when the plant typically slows down.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Deadhead: Remove faded flowers to encourage continued blooming.
Prune: Lightly trim back leggy stems to maintain a full, bushy shape.
Reblooming Tip: After flowering, allow a rest period with reduced watering and shorter daylight to encourage future blooms.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is suitable.
Temperature: Best in 15–26°C (60–79°F). Avoid frost and protect from cold drafts or AC vents.
