Kalanchoes, (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), prefer a bright area near a sunny window, but can tolerate almost any type of light condition.

Soil should be on the dry side. Water thoroughly when soil surface is dry to the touch, and be sure not to let the plant stand in water.

Kalanchoes prefer moderate temperatures, 60-70F (18-21C)during the daytime, and 50-60F (15-18C) at night. Avoid excessively hot or cold areas.

Fertilize occasionally, according to manufacturer's directions, beginning two to three weeks after purchasing or receiving it.

Bright light will help to maintain vibrant flower color. If the flowers are pale-colored, it's a sign that the plant is not getting enough light.
