Kalanchoe blossfeldiana aka Flaming Katy

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, also known as flaming Katy, Christmas kalanchoe, florist kalanchoe, and Madagascar widow's-thrill, is a popular succulent plant native to Madagascar. It is typically grown as a gift plant for its small tubular flowers that bloom in various colors such as red, yellow, lilac, and orange. Unlike many other succulents, the Blossfeldiana is mainly grown for its flowering ability rather than its foliage. With enough sunlight, the green leaves will turn a reddish color around the edges. Although they are naturally spring bloomers, growers can motivate the plant to bloom at any time of the year. After the existing flowers are spent or dead, it's best to prune them back to encourage new buds and further flowering. Florist Kalanchoe is an excellent choice for plant parents looking for the delight of colorful blossoms paired with the ease of a succulent. Despite their tropical-like leaves, Kalanchoe is native to dry regions of sunny Madagascar. So, instead of throwing them away after the flowers die, they can bloom many times, making them a long-lasting and enjoyable addition to any indoor garden.
