Current and mature size
You receive one rooted plant in a 4-inch plastic nursery pot. Photos show representative plants; shipping height, branching, fullness, and leaf color vary. It can develop into a larger branching plant over time. A reliable mature measurement has not been confirmed for this listing; light, container size, and pruning influence its eventual dimensions.
Decorative pots shown in styled photos are sold separately. Choose a pot with drainage holes; avoid enclosed glass orbs and containers that trap moisture.
Care guide
- Light: Provide very bright light with some direct sun after gradual acclimation. Protect from sudden exposure to harsh midday sun. Brighter conditions may bring out red tones, but coloration is not guaranteed. Do not deliberately stress the plant with severe drought to force color.
- Water: Let the mix dry thoroughly between waterings, then water deeply and drain completely. Never leave the nursery pot standing in water. Reduce frequency during cool weather or slow growth; check the soil rather than following a fixed calendar.
- Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent mix and a pot with drainage holes. Shop our Succulent & Cactus Soil Blend, sold separately. Add mineral grit if needed for your conditions and avoid dense, waterlogged soil.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Follow its label, avoid overfeeding, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Temperature: Keep in a warm, frost-free setting. Protect from cold drafts, freezing conditions, and prolonged outdoor rain. Outdoor displays are suitable only when weather allows.
- Humidity and airflow: Ordinary indoor humidity and gentle airflow are suitable. Avoid misting as a watering method or keeping leaves constantly wet.
- Maintenance: Rotate the pot for balanced growth. Trim leggy or damaged stems with clean tools as needed. Repot when roots crowd the container, using a modestly larger pot with drainage. Handle leaves gently and watch for pests around leaf joints.
Pet safety: Kalanchoe is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach.
