🌼 Kalanchoe Plant – Yellow
The Yellow Kalanchoe is a compact, cheerful succulent known for its clusters of vibrant golden-yellow flowers that can brighten up any indoor setting. With its waxy green leaves and long bloom period, it’s a perfect choice for home decor or gifting.
🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is best for flowering and overall plant health.
Tolerates: A few hours of direct morning sunlight.
Avoid: Full afternoon sun (which may scorch leaves) and low-light corners (which reduce blooming).
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Let the top 1.5–2 inches of soil dry out completely between waterings.
Frequency: Every 7–10 days during growing seasons; once every 2–3 weeks in winter.
Important: Never let the plant sit in standing water. Kalanchoes are drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Add perlite or coarse sand to standard mixes.
Pot: Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Terracotta pots are ideal.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with a balanced or bloom-boosting fertilizer.
Pause: Fertilizing during the dormant winter period is unnecessary.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Deadhead: Remove faded flowers to promote continuous blooming.
Prune: After flowering, trim back stretched stems for a tidy, compact shape.
Repot: Every 1–2 years or if rootbound.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is suitable — avoid high humidity levels.
Temperature: Grows well in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures under 10°C (50°F).
