But if the edges of leaves are of red color, it means it feels comfortable with all the conditions. Place the plant near a south or west-facing window where they can get plenty of light.
- watering: during the hot season Kalanchoe needs a lot of water, in winter it is necessary to water the plant only when the top soil dries out. Use mild, settled water of room temperature.
- fertilizing: in summer and fall the plant should be fed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every two weeks during the growing season.
- humidity: Kalanchoe prefers low to moderate humidity levels. They are well-suited to typical household humidity levels.
- temperature: for normal growing it prefers the temperature between 64 and 82 °F in summer, but in winter it should be reduced to 57-64 °F, but not less than 50°F. Protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- repotting: Repot the plant every two years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Some perlite or sand can be added to improve drainage. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with good drainage holes.
