Kalanchoe spp. Pink

Common Name:
Kalanchoe

Description:
Kalanchoe is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant succulent known for its thick, fleshy leaves and clusters of vibrant pink flowers. It is a popular choice for indoor and outdoor gardens, adding a burst of colour with its long-lasting blooms. This plant thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal watering, making it ideal for busy gardeners. Kalanchoe prefers a warm climate and should be protected from frost, making it well-suited to Melbourne’s indoor or patio environments. Flowering primarily in late autumn through winter, it brightens up spaces when many other plants are dormant. Deadheading spent flowers encourages more blooms. It can be propagated easily from leaf or stem cuttings.
