Did you place your kalanchoe in a spot where it can get lots of indirect sunlight?
Is your kalanchoe planted in a well-drained and well-aerated soil mix?
Do you keep it in a warm room, with temperatures consistently above 55 °F?
Do you allow the potting soil to dry between waterings?
Do you feed your kalanchoe once per month during the blooming period?
Do you cut off spent flowers and leggy growth of your kalanchoe?
Do you keep your plant free of pests and diseases?
Kalanchoe needs plenty of light to bloom, but you should avoid placing it in direct sunlight during warmer months. Strong southern light can burn the tips of the leaves. Place pots in partial sun to light shade areas during warmer months, and during the winter, consider a south-facing window.
Replant your kalanchoe. The best planting mix for these plants is 60 percent peat moss and 40 percent perlite. Regular potting soil mix will suffice.
Warm up your room. Kalanchoe prefers warmth. Cold temperatures may delay flowering or in extreme cases, your plant may suffer from frost damage. Do not let the temperature fall below 55 °F.
Water moderately throughout the summer and reduce watering in the winter. Let the soil surface dry out between waterings, and in the winter, the plant can almost dry out - they thrive in the low humidity of winter households. Watch the fleshy leaves for signs of water distress.
Feed kalanchoe about once per month during the blooming period. You can use either standard liquid fertilizer or granular fertilizers. Do not feed kalanchoe during dormancy.
Cut off spent flower stems and pinch back leggy growth to force a compact plant. Deadheading (pinching faded flowers) will encourage more blooms. After deadheading, give the plant a break and reduce watering.
Good job! You are taking good care of your kalanchoe.
Indoor plants like kalanchoe are usually safe from pests, but keep an eye on small insects like aphids or mealybugs. Also, maintain good watering practices to avoid root rot and other fungal problems.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
