You will see that the Kalanchoe gives a lot of pleasure and demands very little in return. It is a strong and low maintenance plant and if you take care of it as follows, it will show you how content it is:
1 Water: in summer water once a week, in winter water every fourteen days. In winter this depends somewhat on where the plant is situated, if it is near a radiator then it needs watering more often.
2 Plant food: Give the plant a few drops of plant food in water every 2 to 3 weeks;
3 Temperature: Room temperature is ideal, but the Kalanchoe will do well in temperatures between 12°C and 30°C.
4 Dead flowers: For a good continuous flowering period do not deadhead, this also avoid damage to new buds.
5 Position: It prefers a sunny spot. The Kalanchoe also does well in full sun.
6 Consumption: The Kalanchoe is a decorative plant and is not edible.
7 Frost: as soon as the danger of night frost is over the Kalanchoe can be placed outside on the terrace, balcony or planted in the garden.
Well, care tip #7 doesn't really apply here in Singapore - hehe!
