Common Kalanchoe
About Common Kalanchoe
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!).

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

Drying bottom leaves, leggy stems, healthy root bound Greg app has no suggestions about care. I searched online though and seller I bought it from identified it correctly. How often should I water it? Drying leaves usually means underwatered. I usually water all my succulents every 2 weeks or so but sone get overwatered. It's in a teeny tiny pot in pon.

What should I do with this Panda plant? I’ve had this panda plant for quite some time and for a long time now it has sprouted this very tall shoot that keeps growing taller. Should I trim it off? It is in a south facing window and gets direct sunlight for a good part of the day except for in the winter because I am in the northeast. But it still gets bright indirect sunlight when not getting direct. #ChocolateSoldier #PandaPlant

Just trying to get a healthy mother of millions. #Kalanchioe I purchased these through Amazon, the first batch was the little guys but they were crushed, so I filled a return. The company selling it was, smoke camp crafts. They sent me two huge plants that had obviously been growing in the box, they were twisted and completely bent over. The bottom leaves were mush, so I cut them and buried the bottom half of the stem so I could get a somewhat strait plant with healthy leaves. I've noticed these brown spots showing up on the leaves. I did a search and found this. Please help if you are able. Apparently I'm not doing very good at caring for my plants. 😔 "The white stuff on succulents is nothing but the fungus that appears as dust or powder. The next time you see your succulents turning white, you can instantly diagnose the issue as a fungal infection. The first signs include white dots on the jade plant or other succulents. The dots are circular patches that start to turn yellowish-brown, and finally, these appear as black spots. Unfortunately, the black and white succulent will not survive for too long. Soon, you will find the succulent with white dots have started to twist, bearing distorted leaves. As the white fuzzy jade plant turns back, the plant will die."
