Easy to maintain and incredibly versatile, this decorative succulent transforms a simple windowsill or desk into a colorful oasis that lasts for weeks, even months, without requiring excessive effort.

Key Features

• Generous double flowers that create rich and long-lasting floral masses, ideal for a festive touch in any season.
• Compact and branched habit, perfect for small spaces, shelves, and hanging pots.

Care and Cultivation

• CALANDIVA prefers light: place it near a bright window, in indirect sunlight or soft direct light. Under these conditions, it develops abundant blooms.
• Substrate and repotting: choose a well-draining potting mix, perfectly suited for succulents. Repot when the roots start to fill the pot, ideally every 2 to 3 years to support continuous flowering.
• Watering: prefer moderate watering. Wait until the top 2-3 cm of the substrate is dry before watering again. Avoid excess water in the saucer to prevent root rot.
• Fertilization: during the growing season (spring/summer), dilute a balanced houseplant fertilizer and apply every 4 to 6 weeks. Reduce or stop feeding in winter when the plant slows its growth.
• Flowering and post-flowering care: after the flowering period, lightly prune faded stems to stimulate new growth and prepare for the next wave of flowers. A little gentle swirling also stimulates overall vitality.
• Temperature and environment: CALANDIVA thrives between 15 and 25°C. Avoid cold drafts and extreme temperatures to preserve the longevity of the flowers and the vigor of the plant.
