Kalanchoes are native to arid areas, and they are popular succulents. More commonly found in warmer areas, especially Africa. Because of its surprising ability to survive in colder temperatures, various varieties have been found in many different places.
Kalanchoes can last for an incredibly long time. They are resiliant and can continue to bloom year round.
They prefer bright, sunny locations, especially in the summer growing season. During the winter, consider a south-facing window to maximize sunlight. Water moderately throughout the summer and reduce watering in the winter. Let the soil surface dry out between waterings. In the winter, the plant can almost dry out completely. Watch the fleshy leaves for signs of water distress. They prefer warmth, but can go to as low as 55ºF or 13ºC.
