ABSOLUTELY! You must have a pot w good drainage. Number one rule. Look closely at the leaves and notice this plant is a succulent and carrie’s some water in its leaves- you can even let it go a little dry. If you like a certain decorative container you feel you cannot live w/out, plant in plastic and put plastic pot and all into the “cache pot “ and quickly drain all water out of cache pot after watering. Wala- that takes care of that issue. Next: No. 2. Kalanchoe insists on deadheading: pinch out dead flower heads AS SOON AS YOU SEE THEM. If you leave dead flower heads on the plant they will follow their natural instinct and “go to seed” once that happens.. usually the entire plant begins to die because it’s completely it’s life cycle. No. 3. I have found that it does not need THAT MUCH LIGHT. What do i mean by that. I have my plants on a balcony with outdoor light.. but no sun. sun would burn it. So 3 things to know: do not overwater and allow to drain; no direct sun but good light and you MUST DEADHEAD.. My advice to you (from someone who has killed her share of kalanchoes - they sell them in tiny little pots. Buy a tiny one for 2$. Try to follow good kal. practices. You will be amazed when months later they are still blooming. Then if you enjoy the deadheading process (which i doubt) buy a big one!! if this one has already gone to seed, i don’t know what to tell you!
Tysm for seeing this post answer they were hopeful!
