Kalanchoe Plants

  • COLORFUL BLOOMS
  • EASY-TO-GROW
  • LOW MAINTENANCE

Kalanchoe plants are actually flowering succulents that bloom relatively often. Like most succulents, they don’t require much in the line of care. Water when the soil is dry and make sure they have plenty of bright indirect light. This will help them maintain those beautiful blooms.

Care Requirements

LIGHT

Kalanchoe plants need a lot of bright sunlight to bloom, so keep them in a room with an abundance of bright, natural light. Avoid direct sunlight 

WATERING

The kalanchoe does well with minimal water, requiring a complete saturation only every few weeks or so. During the winter months, water even less. Let the soil of your Kalanchoe dry out completely in between waterings, then water to the point of saturation.

TEMPERATURE

The kalanchoe plants grow best in temperatures between 55° and 80°­­ F. Be sure to never let the plant go below freezing temperatures.

FERTILIZER

Like most flowering plants, Kalanchoe can benefit from fertilizer. The best time to give them fertilizer is around the time of bloom, so feed with a well-balanced fertilizer blend once a month during the spring and summer months.

HUMIDITY

When it comes to humidity, the Kalanchoe plant is not picky and does not require certain moisture levels in the air.

PET FRIENDLY

Mildly toxic if eaten in large quantities. Keep away from dogs, cats, and children.

Care Requirements

LIGHT

Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.

SOIL

Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers.  

FERTILIZER

If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.

WATERING

Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.

Our Advice

  • Allium flowers need full sun for the best blooms. 
  • Plant allium bulbs when temperature is consistently in the low 60’s or lower. 
  • Allium bulbs and flowers enjoy having soil that is well-draining and has organic matter. Amend the soil with top soil, compost and organic material. 
  • Fertilize when planting the allium bulbs with either Espoma Organic Bulb-tone or Hi Yield Dutch Bulb Food. Applying fertilizer at least 3″ below bulb will make sure the roots get the most from the fertilizer. 
  • Plant allium bulbs 4 – 6 inches deep with the old roots facing the ground and the pointed end facing up. 
  • Water the planted area immediately after planting but no additional watering in fall or spring is necessary. 
  • Apply a 2 – 3 inch layer of  mulch to the planing area in mid to late fall.
