New to this!! Any tips are appreciated!

My boyfriend just bought me this! It says its a “Florist kalanchoe”

I don’t really have a way to give it direct sunlight unfortunately but I’m determined to make this baby grow strong!! Does anyone know best ways to take care of it?:)

Thank you!! #NewPlantMom

@SlinkyBibi38 these plants are pretty easy to care for. They are succulents so they are forgiving about water. The best information I can provide is a Kalanchoe plant indoors will require bright, indirect light with minimal watering, and well-draining soil. Keep it in temperatures of 65 to 80 degrees F and water only when the top 1–2 inches of soil are completely dry.

Here are a few of mine the middle one is outside on my front porch. I water it every few weeks and it does well. Just ensure if you plant it outside, it’s placed in a spot with indirect sunlight. Direct sun will kill these plants. Good luck and happy growing!

@SlinkyBibi38 You can always get a grow light to supplement bright natural light from a window. Place it within 3 feet from the sunniest window in your home. Once the flowers start to die pinch them off down to the first set of leaves. That will trigger the plant into producing more flowers.
