How to Grow Kalanchoe (Paddle Plant) Indoors

Pronunciation: kal-en-koe'-ee

Kalanchoes are easy-care houseplants that thrive in temperatures of 55°F or higher with bright, indirect light. From April through September, water when the top inch of potting mix feels dry, and fertilize monthly with a water-soluble 20-20-20 fertilizer at half strength. The shorter days and longer nights of fall trigger flower production. Reduce watering in winter when plants aren't actively growing.
