How to fertilize Florist Kalanchoe
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 Florist Kalanchoe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Dead or out-of-season? This is my lovely Kalanchoe! Usually, it lives in my room on the highest level of my plant stand (because it’s special and I have cats 😅). Recently, I repotted it from a small nursery pot in a boot to this fancy pot (room to grow and whatnot). The flowers are dying, but the leaves look ok. Is it past flowering season, or was the repot a bad idea that ended up costing me? Where I live, it’s currently Spring, nearly Summer. #HappyPlants #dying #Dyingplant #Kalanchoe #FloristKalanchoe #repotting #northernhemisphere

Potting Predicament Hey everyone! Back again with my potting confusion. On the 16th last month, I got this Kalanchoe from a Walmart (I think), and it came in this nice little clay boot pot. Well, this lovely boot has no drainage whatsoever. Now, I’d like to be able to take care of this lovely plant, so should I try drilling holes in the boot? Should I switch the pot entirely? Should I get better soil for it in the process (I don’t know what it’s currently potted in)? Will this plant even survive indoors in North Carolina? How should I go about taking care of it? (P.S., I tried taking the crappy paper sticker off to check for drainage underneath it, it neither came off nor gave in as if there was a hole) #NewPlantMom #pottingadvice #FloristKalanchoe #NCGregGang #pottingsoil

#FloristKalanchoe #Kalanchoe #Kalanchoe the big original leaves on my florist kalanchoe keep withering, I had reduced water and it stayed the same and increased watering and it continued to wither, there are roots coming from the stem and the new leaves that are growing are not withering. I’ve pruned a lot of the original leaves but have not seen this happen with other kalanchoes. Any thoughts?

Not doing so hot  I’m incredibly new to caring for houseplants. My kalanchoe isn’t doing too hot right now, the flowers are beginning to wilt. I do have it in a small pot right now. Do we think getting a larger pot and fresh fertilizer should help turn it around? Thanks friends!!
-
Any tips for this particular plant?? Being specific what kind of pot and should I change the soil that was already in it? I’m new to this please don’t judge me lol! #Kalanchoe

This plant was a straggler that started rooting on the windowsill! She’s doing well, I’ve had the mother plant for years and this the first year she has bloomed.

I haven’t had a lot of luck with my Kalanchoe. It nearly died on me last year just months after getting it, I’m starting to think it was poor conditions at the place I got it from but since repotting, it seems to be getting healthier now but haven’t had any flowers since :( fingers crossed we get them soon!

This plant put up with a LOT of abuse because I didn’t know what it was or that it would bloom. Now that it has I fell in love with it but it has become too leggy and I’m planning on doing something about that. Wish me luck!

Over two years I have watered this plant no more than six times. It still grows and has yet to die. It is a survivor and is super easy to care for.
