  •   Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva White', also called Flaming Katy, is a compact flowering succulent from the rocky highlands of Madagascar. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is one of the most popular double flower kalanchoe varieties for tabletop growing.

      Calandiva White grows in an upright, clustering habit with thick, waxy leaves edged in soft scallops and deep glossy green throughout. The fleshy, succulent foliage forms a tidy mounded shape as it clusters outward, staying compact on shelves and desks.

      It produces dense clusters of fully double, rose-like blooms in pure white during winter and spring, triggered by shorter days and cooler nighttime temperatures. Blooms last several weeks when they appear, and the flowers are essentially fragrance-free.

      Calandiva White grows on bright desks, windowsills, and shelves indoors, and it grows well under office LED lighting when natural light is limited. You can move it outside to a sheltered spot during summer months, though it needs protection from rain to prevent root and bloom rot. Keep it on a high shelf away from cats and dogs, as the sap may cause skin or paw irritation. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

  •   Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva White' grows well in bright indirect light and may scorch in harsh direct sun.

      Water it every 10-14 days, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings.

      Calandiva White does best in a well-draining cactus and succulent soil mix blended with perlite.

      It prefers temperatures between 60-80°F and should never be exposed to frost or freezing conditions.

      Calandiva White is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during the growing season.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10 and 11, where temperatures stay above 30-35°F year-round. It grows outdoors in Florida, Hawaii, southern California, southern Texas, southern Arizona, and coastal Louisiana. It also grows during frost-free months in parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and the warmer regions of Nevada and coastal Oregon.
  • Q: How often should I water Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva White'?
    A: Every 10-14 days once the soil dries completely. The leaves will wilt slightly when thirsty.

    Q: Is this plant toxic to cats and dogs?
    A: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva White' is toxic if ingested, and sap contact may cause skin or paw irritation. Keep it on a high shelf well out of reach.

    Q: How do I get Calandiva White to bloom again?
    A: It needs about 6 weeks of longer dark periods (14 hours of darkness per night) and a nighttime temperature drop to 60°F. Reducing watering slightly during this rest period also helps trigger flower buds.

    Q: What window placement works best indoors?
    A: Calandiva White does well in a north or east-facing window with bright indirect light. Rotate the pot regularly so all sides receive even light and the plant stays compact and upright.

    Q: How big does Flaming Katy get?
    A: It typically reaches 8-12 inches in height with a similar spread as it clusters outward, fitting easily in 2" and 4" pots.

    Q: Can this plant go outside in summer?
    A: Flaming Katy can move to a bright, sheltered spot away from harsh afternoon sun. Always provide cover from rain, as excess moisture on roots and foliage causes rot.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    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. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
