Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi aka Lavender Scallops

Lavender Scallops presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Lavender Scallops does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

To ensure the health of your Lavender Scallops, it's crucial to use a potting soil that won't hold too much moisture. A soil that drains well and contains perlite or vermiculite for drainage and organic matter for nutrition is ideal. Adding a few handfuls of perlite to store-bought cactus soil is an easy way to create this type of soil mix.

Lavender Scallops thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Fedtschenko's Lavender Scallops.

During the wintertime, it's common for Lavender Scallops to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

Lavender Scallops is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Lavender Scallops prefers dry environments, so misting the plant to provide extra humidity and allow water to linger on the leaves can create an ideal environment for fungi that can be harmful.

Repotting the Lavender Scallops is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.
