when do kalanchoe bloom
The kalanchoe, with its ruddy, succulent leaves, and bright bouquets of red, orange, white, yellow, or pink, is one of the best gifts to give or receive in December. For here is a plant that blooms for six months of the year, and has no special requirements for high humidity and cool temperatures. My favorite variety is pink âSensation,â pictured above. Read on, and Iâll tell you how to make kalanchoe bloom when you want it to. Like most succulents, this African tourist wants little except for twelve to fourteen hours of darkness every night for at least three weeks before Christmas â if you want it to bloom then. Like the chrysanthemum, it is a short-day plant.
