Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Pink' Care Guide
FAQ/Common Issues

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Pink', also called Flaming Katy, is a compact flowering succulent in the Crassulaceae family native to Madagascar. It grows indoors as a houseplant, combining drought tolerance with seasonal blooms and simple care requirements.

Upright clustering rosettes of thick, fleshy dark green leaves form the plant's tidy structure, with foliage reaching 8 to 12 inches in height. The leaves feature scalloped edges and a glossy, waxy texture that stays dense and compact on a windowsill or desk. New rosette clusters emerge over time, creating a fuller appearance with each growing season.

Calandiva Pink produces masses of fully double, rose-like blooms in warm pink tones that last for weeks at a time. Unlike single-flowered kalanchoe varieties, this double flower type holds its blooms exceptionally well throughout its blooming period. A period of cooler night temperatures triggers reblooming, naturally mimicking seasonal shifts that signal the plant to set new flower buds.

Move it outside in summer to a sheltered spot, though it needs cover from rain to protect the blooms and foliage. Keep it away from cats, dogs, and small children—place it on a high shelf out of reach. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and keep it away from air conditioning or heating vents. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It also grows well under office LEDs.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Pink' grows well in bright indirect light or partial sun near an east or west-facing window.

Water it every 10 to 14 days, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

Calandiva Pink does best in a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix blended with perlite for extra drainage.

It prefers temperatures between 60 and 85°F and should be protected from frost below 50°F.

Calandiva Pink grows at a moderate pace and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during the active growing season.

It is hardy in USDA Zones 10 to 12, tolerating outdoor temperatures no lower than 30 to 35°F before frost damage occurs. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, southern California, southern Texas, southern Arizona, and Louisiana. Warmer microclimates in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Nevada, and coastal Oregon also support outdoor growing through milder seasons.
Q: How often should I water Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Pink'?
A: The soil should dry out completely between waterings. Stick your finger an inch into the soil; if any moisture remains, wait a few more days before watering again.

Q: What light conditions does this flowering succulent need indoors?
A: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva Pink' grows well in bright indirect light near an east or west-facing window. Direct south-facing sun exposure can scorch the leaves.

Q: Is Calandiva Pink safe around pets?
A: No. Cats, dogs, and other pets shouldn't nibble or eat it—keep it on a high shelf out of reach.

Q: How do I get this plant to rebloom?
A: Calandiva Pink needs cooler night temperatures and around 14 hours of darkness per day for 4 to 6 weeks to trigger new buds. Once buds form, move it back to its usual bright spot to enjoy weeks of flowers.

Q: How big does Flaming Katy get?
A: It typically reaches 8 to 12 inches tall and wide, growing in a compact upright clustering habit perfect for windowsills and small spaces.

Q: Can Flaming Katy handle a 10-day trip without watering?
A: Water it thoroughly just before leaving. Its succulent leaves store enough moisture to sustain it during your absence.

🌿 For Houseplants

Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants.
