Kalanchoe is a succulent known for its resilience and beauty, originating from African tropical regions such as Madagascar. Its thick leaves store water, allowing the plant to withstand periods of drought. In addition, its colorful flowers add a vibrant touch to any project. CASACOR encourages the use of native plants and, therefore, warns that, due to being an exotic plant, its use can compromise the development of native species and cause imbalances in certain ecosystems. We recommend, therefore, attention to its cultivation, preferably in indoor projects. How to cultivate Kalanchoe? To plant kalanchoe, choose well-drained soil and a pot that prevents water accumulation. Water moderately, between one week and fifteen days, allowing the soil to dry between waterings, as excess moisture can cause root rot. Position the plant in a location with indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight in periods of intense heat. During its growth, add a fertilizer once a month to ensure healthy and vigorous blooming. In Brazil, species such as Kalanchoe blossfeldiana and Kalanchoe tomentosa stand out. Both bloom easily in indoor projects, provided they receive enough light. Its cultivation is advantageous, providing beauty without the need for extensive care. It pairs well with cacti and other succulents, creating arrangements that require minimal maintenance and result in beautiful decorative compositions.
