About Kalanchoe (Red)
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a compact, succulent flowering plant popular for gifting, tabletop displays, and hanging baskets. This red-flowered variety produces dense clusters of small, long-lasting blooms above glossy, scalloped-edge leaves.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Bright, indirect light; tolerates some morning direct sun but avoid harsh afternoon exposure.
- Soil: Well-drained, slightly sandy potting mix - similar to succulent/cactus mixes.
- Water: Let soil dry out between waterings; being succulent-leaved, it stores water and is sensitive to overwatering.
Planting & Placement
A compact plant well-suited to small pots, tabletops, windowsills, or hanging baskets. Considered a near zero-maintenance plant for indoor or shaded balcony spots.
Care
- Fertilizer: A light, balanced fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks during active growth is sufficient.
- Pruning: Deadhead spent flower clusters to tidy the plant and encourage repeat flowering.
Flowering
Produces dense clusters of small red, star-shaped flowers that stay attractive for several weeks, making it a popular gifting plant.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Kalanchoe is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested - it contains cardiac glycosides that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and in larger quantities can affect heart rhythm.
