Here is a guide to its care Kalanchoe Orange:

 

1. Light

  • Indoors: Provide bright, indirect light.2 A south- or west-facing window is often ideal, especially in winter.3
  • Avoid: Intense, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.4
  • Sign of insufficient light: Leggy stems (stretching out with fewer leaves) and reduced flowering.5

2. Watering

  • Succulent nature: Kalanchoes store water in their leaves and stems, making them drought-tolerant.6
  • Rule of thumb: Water thoroughly, but allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings.7
  • Avoid: Overwatering is the most common cause of problems (like root rot).8 Ensure the pot has drainage holes so the plant never sits in standing water.9
  • Frequency: This may mean watering every 2-3 weeks indoors, and even less frequently in the dormant winter months.10

3. Soil and Potting

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.11 A cactus or succulent mix is excellent, or you can mix regular potting soil with perlite or coarse sand for better drainage.12
  • Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes.13 Clay or terracotta pots are great because they help wick away excess moisture.14
  • Repotting: Repot every one to two years, usually in the spring, to refresh the soil and move to a slightly larger pot if root-bound.15

4. Temperature

  • Avoid: Placing the plant near cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or heating sources, as they are sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations.21

5. Fertilizing

  • When: Feed sparingly, typically once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).22
  • Type: Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer or a fertilizer formulated for succulents, diluted to half-strength.23
  • Avoid: Do not fertilize during the fall and winter dormant period.24

6. Pruning and Deadheading Kalanchoe Orange (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)

  • Deadheading: Remove (or “deadhead”) spent flowers and their stalks as they fade.25 This redirects the plant’s energy into new growth and can help encourage a bushier appearance.26
  • Pruning: You can prune back leggy or overly tall stems to maintain a more compact shape.27

7. Reblooming

Kalanchoes are “short-day” plants, meaning they require a period of long, uninterrupted darkness to set new flower buds.28 To encourage a rebloom:

  1. After the current flowers fade: Cut the spent flower stems back.29
  2. Dark Treatment (for about 6 weeks): Provide the plant with 14 hours of complete darkness every night and about 10 hours of bright light during the day.30 This can be achieved by placing it in a dark closet or covering it with a box.31
  3. Return to normal light: Once you see new buds forming (usually after about 6 weeks), you can stop the darkness treatment and return the plant to its normal bright-light spot.32 Resume normal watering and begin fertilizing again.
