Caring for a ‘Kalanchoe White‘ is similar to caring for other popular Kalanchoe varieties, as they are all succulents and generally low-maintenance.

Indoors: Provide bright, indirect light. A location near a south- or west-facing window is often ideal.
Avoid: Direct, harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Note: Insufficient light can lead to a leggy plant and poor flowering.

As a succulent, the Kalanchoe stores water in its leaves and is prone to root rot from overwatering.
Water Sparingly: Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to completely dry out between waterings.
Deep Watering: When you do water, soak the soil thoroughly until water drains from the bottom.
Drainage is Key: Never let the pot sit in a saucer of standing water. Reduce watering significantly in the fall and winter, which are the plant’s dormant periods.

Soil: Use a well-draining mix designed for cacti and succulents. You can also mix regular potting soil with coarse sand, perlite, or pumice to improve drainage (e.g., a mix of 50% potting soil and 50% cactus/succulent mix).
Pot: Ensure the container has drainage holes.

Temperature: Kalanchoes prefer average room temperatures, generally between 60°F and 85°F ( $15^\circ\text{C}$ and $29^\circ\text{C}$ ).
Avoid: Cold drafts, heating vents, or sudden temperature fluctuations. They do not tolerate frost.
Humidity: They are not fussy about humidity, but they prefer low to moderate levels. Do not mist the leaves, as excess moisture can lead to fungal issues.

Frequency: Feed the plant once a month during its active growing and blooming seasons (spring and summer).
Type: Use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half strength.
For Blooms: If flowering is sparse, you can use a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content (the middle number in the NPK ratio).
Dormancy: Do not fertilize during the fall and winter.

Deadheading: After the white flowers fade, gently trim the spent blooms and their stems down to where they meet the foliage. This keeps the plant tidy and encourages new growth.
Reblooming (The “Short Day” Trick): Kalanchoes are “short day” plants, meaning they need a period of long nights to set new flower buds. To encourage reblooming, give the plant about 14 hours of complete, uninterrupted darkness each night for approximately six weeks, usually starting in the late fall/early winter. During this time, also reduce watering and stop fertilizing. After the six weeks, return the plant to its normal bright light conditions, and new buds should form in a few months.
