Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry to the touch, typically every 1-2 weeks depending on conditions.

Ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot, as Kalanchoes are susceptible to overwatering. Reduce frequency during cooler months or after flowering.

Regularly deadhead spent flowers by pinching them off to encourage the plant to produce more blooms and maintain a neat appearance.

After flowering, prune back any leggy or overgrown stems to promote bushier growth and a more compact shape. Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to improve air circulation and overall plant health.

This also helps rejuvenate older plants.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. For stem cuttings, take a 5-10 cm section, remove lower leaves, and allow it to callus for 2-3 days.

Plant the callused end in well-draining succulent mix. For leaf cuttings, simply place a healthy leaf on the soil surface. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots and new growth appear, typically within a few weeks.

Repot your Kalanchoe every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound, ideally after the main flowering period. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to prevent excess moisture retention.

Use fresh, well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Gently remove the plant, inspect the roots for any rot, and replant at the same depth, ensuring good drainage.
