About Kalanchoe 'Dragonfire'
Plants in the Kalanchoe genus are native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. They range from rubbery green leaves, to leopard print, and some are even fuzzy! The word Kalanchoe comes from the Cantonese name for these plants, pronounced Ka-lun-koh-ee in English. Their succulent leaves help store water during droughts, so they'll be just fine if you skip a watering or two (it happens!).

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

Hey. The water drained through my plant. I did what the app says and put it in a bowl of water to soak it up. Do I keep doing that or start watering normaly again?

Not flowering #Kalanchoe Over a year ago this plant was blooming and beautiful but I feel like she is unhappy now. No blooms and the leaves look sad. Any suggestions? First photo is from sept 2023 and the second photo is now.

I can't believe the difference in the coloring of my Kalanchoe Dragonfire since I got him from the #gregplantshop just a couple months ago! The picture on the plant card is from when I got him and the other one is today 😳 #greggang #plantsmakepeoplehappy #succulentsquad

raise you hand ✋🏼 if you have what i like to call “seasonal plant depression”. i have not used this app since the leaves outside started to turn color😅 im fully aware that my houseplants require my help to stay alive…however, i can. not. stay motivated enough through the dark season of winter to keep up with them. i don’t know if it’s the lack of vitamin d or if my mind has been programmed to believe all things green must die in the winter. but every year, one of my plants surprises me with a resurrection that i’d never believe to be possible. lord behold, my kalanchoe who i started watering again like a week ago, has decided her will to live is stronger than my will to let her die 🙌🏼 here’s to a full summer (& hopefully winter if i can get my life together) of beautiful, healthy houseplants 🥲😍 #SucculentLove

Help! My panda plant is drooping. And dropping leaves. I think I let it get too dry, but watered it and it’s not bouncing back. Any suggestions? #Kalanchoe

I believe this is a Paddleplant, does anyone know why the bottom half is droopy looking? It's still firm and looks the same all over except for the leaves pointing down. #Kalanchoe

The leaves roots and flowers are poisonous to cats and dogs. The flowers are most poisonous. So keep away from pets. Otherwise, as long as it gets lots of sun this fella can handle almost anything! (Try to keep warm during winter months if you live someplace cold, bring them in)
