Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is a low-maintenance, vibrant flowering succulent that's perfect for sunny spots. Here's how to care for it:

1. Sunlight: Provide bright, indirect light, or direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. It thrives in warm, sunny conditions.
2. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
3. Soil: Use well-draining, sandy or cactus-specific potting mix. A good mix prevents water from accumulating around the roots.
4. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 60-85°F (15-29°C), and avoid cold drafts.
5. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
6. Pruning: Remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms, and trim any leggy growth to maintain a compact shape.
7. Rest Period: After blooming, Kalanchoe may enter a resting phase. During this time, reduce watering and stop fertilizing until new growth appears.

With minimal care, Kalanchoe will reward you with beautiful clusters of colorful flowers and a tidy, attractive appearance.
