With proper care, its flowers can last for several weeks, making it one of the longest-flowering indoor plants. The contrast between its green, fleshy, glossy leaves and abundant blooms makes it an extremely ornamental plant. Its thick, fleshy leaves act as natural water reserves, allowing it to withstand dry periods and significantly reducing watering needs. It&#8217;s one of the most popular ornamental plants for decorating interiors, helping to create more natural and comfortable spaces. It can also be grown outdoors, provided it&#8217;s protected from intense midday sun and frost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Kalanchoe blossfeldiana<\/em><br \/><strong>Common names<\/strong>: Flaming Katy, Kalanchoe<br \/><strong>Family:<\/strong> Crassulaceae<br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Madagascar<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Indoor or outdoor plant<br \/><strong>Approximate height<\/strong>: 15cm<br \/><strong>Pot diameter<\/strong>: 10cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Prefers very bright locations. Tolerates a few hours of direct sun, especially during morning or late afternoon, but should be protected from intense sun on hot days. In poorly lit locations it may flower less.<br \/><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: Thrives best between 12 and 25 \u00b0C. Tolerates higher temperatures provided the soil doesn&#8217;t remain dry for too long. Should be protected from frost and temperatures below around 5 \u00b0C.<br \/><strong>Watering<\/strong>: Only when the soil is completely dry. Avoid leaving water accumulated in the saucer or planter. Overwatering is the main cause of problems with this species and can lead to root rot.<br \/><strong>Fertilizing<\/strong>: Apply flowering plant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer, following the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations.<br \/><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: Removing spent flowers prolongs flowering and encourages new blooms. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact shape and promotes healthy growth. Although resilient, it may occasionally be attacked by mealybugs and aphids.<br \/><strong>Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial plant.<br \/><strong>Soil<\/strong>: Light, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Cactus and succulent soils are an excellent option.<br \/><strong>Not pet-friendly<\/strong>: All parts of this plant are toxic to pets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: With its long flowering period and symbolism associated with prosperity and friendship, it&#8217;s also an excellent gift for special occasions.<\/p>\n<p>WARNING!
