Kalanchoe is a genus that includes more than 100 species of plants native to Madagascar. Kalanchoe plants are known for their succulent, oval-shaped, often scallop-edged green leaves. Some varieties develop red leaves or leaf edges when grown with sufficient sunlight. The most common houseplant species is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, which blooms with clusters of tiny, colorful flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, salmon, and white.

 

Kalanchoe is a popular houseplant because it's drought tolerant and easy to grow. In tropical and subtropical climates, it can be grown outdoors as a perennial. In colder climates, it's typically grown as an indoor plant. Note that all parts of the plant are toxic to cats and dogs.

  • Plant kalanchoe in loose, loamy, sandy, well-drained potting medium like cactus mix or soil used for succulents.

  • Allow kalanchoe plants to dry out completely between waterings.
  • Fertilize indoor kalanchoe plants once per month during spring and summer.
