Know before you buy
This plant requires high light conditions to thrive and produce its signature blooms. Place it in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect sunlight, though it can tolerate some direct sun as well.
As a succulent, the Kalanchoe prefers moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot, as it does not like to sit in soggy, waterlogged soil.
Yes, the Orange Kalanchoe is an evergreen succulent. It maintains its attractive, glossy dark green foliage year-round, even when it is not in its mid-winter to early-spring blooming cycle.
Not at all. Because it has a naturally mounded, bushy growth habit, it requires very little maintenance. You can simply prune it back occasionally if you want to keep it compact or encourage a specific shape.
The 6-inch pot is perfectly suitable for the plant's current size. Since it reaches a mature width of about 12 inches, you may eventually want to repot it into a slightly larger container if you notice it becoming root-bound.
