About Kalanchoe sexangularis
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.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Kalanchoe sexangularis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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.

what should I do? Is this okay? I got this kalanchoe a bit ago from my mom and it has been doing okay, but recently the stem on the smaller growth started drying out and causing the plant to fall over. Should I cut the good bit off and try to propagate it or just leave it? I’m new to growing succulents so I don’t know what to do!

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
