Other Details | Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a long-flowering perennial succulent that requires warm temperatures.kalanchoe needs well-draining, light soil. It grows easily with minimal care and fertilization, but give it plenty of space, because it can reach up to 1 1/2 feet wide and tall.This plant has green, glossy leaves, which have scalloped edges. These can become tinged with red when exposed to direct light for an extended period. Although these thick leaves can seem quite strong, they are in fact slightly brittle and will break easily if mishandled.Water kalanchoe when the soil feels dry, but avoid wetting the leaves. Allow some time between waterings, because too much moisture can cause root rot. |
