The Calandiva, a cultivated variety of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, is a popular houseplant thanks to its prolonged flowering and minimal maintenance. Its flowers, which appear in dense clusters, can last for several weeks, even months, providing a constant source of color in the home. As a succulent, it is particularly suitable for people who tend to forget to water their plants. It thrives well in typical indoor conditions, especially due to its ability to tolerate the dry air often present in our homes. Furthermore, its vibrant and colorful blooms are particularly appreciated during periods when natural light is scarcer.
Main characteristics
Foliage: Thick, fleshy, glossy dark green leaves, forming a dense rosette. These leaves serve as a water reserve, allowing the plant to tolerate periods of drought.
Habit: Compact and rounded growth, making it ideal for small spaces, windowsills, and plant arrangements.
Growth: Moderate growth, typically reaching a height and width of 20 to 30 cm.
Care: Extremely easy, making it an excellent choice for beginner gardeners or those with little time to dedicate to plant care.
Flowering: Abundant and very long-lasting flowering, with double flowers that resemble small roses, available in a wide range of vibrant colors.
Care tips
Light: Prefers bright indirect light for optimal flowering. Avoid direct exposure to scorching sun, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as this can burn the leaves.
Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry out almost completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally a specific mix for cacti and succulents. Ensuring good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Adapts well to ambient indoor humidity. Excessive humidity is generally not necessary.
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 15°C and 24°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Fertilization: Fertilize lightly during the flowering period with a balanced liquid fertilizer for flowering plants, following the manufacturer's instructions. Stop fertilizing during the winter dormancy period.
