Kalanchoe Prolifera

Caring For Kalanchoe Prolifera

1) Light: Kalanchoe grows best in full sun and a well-drained potting media. Kalanchoe will tolerate bright indoor light levels well

2) Water: The best rule of thumb for watering a kalanchoe is to stick your finger in the soil every few days. When the top 2 inches of soil is dry (all the way dry, not just sort of dry), it’s time to water. Indoors, this will probably mean you’ll only need to water every 2 or 3 weeks, but be sure to check regularly

3) Soil: Kalanchoes are succulents that grow best in a well-drained and well- aerated potting soil, such 60% peat moss and 40% perlite

4) Temperature: Because kalanchoes are native to tropical and subtropical climates, they require an outdoor temperature of around 45 degrees Fahrenheit or higher to survive

5) Fertilizer: Kalanchoe are self-sufficient plants, but they do benefit from occasional fertilizing. You can use a well-balanced fertilizer such as 20-20-20
