Kalanchoe 'Blossfeldiana'

Flaming Katy 🌸✨ is loved for its clusters of bright long-lasting flowers and thick glossy leaves, making it an easy way to add cheerful color to a windowsill, desk, or sunny shelf. It does best in very bright light indoors or gentle outdoor sun, where it can stay compact and bloom longer without stretching. This is a beginner-friendly plant that prefers to dry a bit between waterings and is much easier to keep happy than fussier flowering houseplants. Pro tip: let the soil dry before watering again and remove spent blooms as they fade to help keep the plant tidy and encourage more color 💧.
