Kalanchoe White ( Bare Rooted)

Kalanchoe, particularly the white-flowered varieties, are popular houseplants known for their vibrant blooms and ease of care. Here are some key points on how to grow and maintain Kalanchoe plants effectively:

Light Requirements

• Indoor: Place in bright, indirect light; a south-facing window is ideal during winter.
• Outdoor: Can thrive in partial shade to full sun, but protect from intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

Watering

• Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Kalanchoes are succulents and prefer drier conditions to avoid root rot.
• Water sparingly during the winter months, typically every 2-3 weeks.

Soil

• Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. This helps prevent excess moisture, which can lead to root rot.

Fertilization

• Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Pruning and Maintenance

• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
• Pinch back stems if necessary to promote bushier growth.

Reblooming

• To encourage reblooming, reduce watering and provide shorter daylight hours (around 8-9 hours of light) for about a month before returning it to brighter conditions.

By following these care tips, you can enjoy healthy Kalanchoe plants with beautiful white blooms throughout their growing season.
