Drying out leaves


Question
I bought a Kalanchoe that was almost dead and I have brought it back to life but the leaves on it are drying out badly.  It is fully bloomed and I am watering it and it has plenty of light.  I do not know what else to do.  

Answer
Hi Karen,

I am a bit surprised that it is in full bloom and losing leaves at the same time. Perhaps it is just a few lower leaves tht are dying, wich is nohing to be concerned about. If it is more than that, then it is a watering problem.

Your Kalanchoe should be in a small pot (6" or smaller) and you should water it only when the top inch of soil is dry.
