Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Kalanchoes thrive in bright, indirect sunlight.
  A sunny windowsill is ideal, but protect them from intense direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
  If the leaves start to turn yellow, it's a sign of too much direct sun.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  As succulents, Kalanchoes store water in their leaves and prefer to dry out between waterings.
  Always check the soil before watering; if it's dry to the touch, it's time to water.
  Water less frequently during the cooler autumn and winter months, as the plant goes dormant.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Kalanchoes are well-suited to average household humidity levels.
  Ensure good air circulation, especially in humid or confined spaces, to prevent fungal problems like powdery mildew.
  If you need to increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Kalanchoes prefer warmth but can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in winter.
  A cool, dry rest period in autumn and winter (around 10-15°C) can encourage flowering.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed every few months during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser
  Stop fertilising during the winter months when growth slows.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring.
  Trim back leggy stems to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
  Remove spent flower stalks to tidy the plant and encourage new growth.
