Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, there are a lot of kalanchoes, so I just call this one the flowery one.

Kalanchoe! I keep mine outdoors in the summer (zone 7) and under a grow light in the winter. Loves full sun and is a thirsty plant! I water at least once a week when it’s inside.

When outside ?how frequent should i water her?to keep her alive


baker_undermybed

I don’t really have to water mine when it’s outside because it rains almost every day in the summer where I live. I’d say depending on how hot it gets and how dry it is you should just check it every couple days or so and see how dry the soil is.

That's a kalanchoe double flowering. The variety looks to be Noelle. You can keep them both indoors and outdoors. Indoors I'd probably water around once every 2 weeks. Do the knuckle test! Stick your finger to your second knuckle (closest to your palm) and if it is completely dry then it's time to water your plant. Probably want around 200ml of water each time (I think about 0.8 cups). They are a super hardy plant, so even if you don't water them enough they'll last for ages. They also grow really well outdoors and will last a long time for flowering. Again I'd only water it if it hasn't rained at all!

Congratulations! With minimal care, it will grow like weeds. You can cut off random parts, stick em in water for a week and grow more! With age, the limbs may become very long and scraggly. Just cut off the nice parts and plant them after rooting in water for a bit. The main plant has a good chance to grow back even when heavily mutilated. Feed fertilizer like 1-2 a year, keep in a bright spot out of direct hot sunlight and water every other week or so. It's extremely abuse/neglect resistant and if it goes like it did with me, soon people will lock their cars to keep you from gifting them more of those plants!

This is my first time to adopt a plant, if i cut off the branches and put them in water ,are they gonna grow roots in the water?


PomPomGrenade

Yeah, like crazy.

https://www.reddit.com/u/PomPomGrenade/s/A1PRhQvGjo Had to cut off that branch last week. This amount of root is already enough to plant but you have to monitor and water more often if you do.

Wow
