Kalanchoe Watering

Kalanchoes prefer life on the drier side, so let the soil dry out completely before giving them another drink. Water thoroughly using the drench-and-drain method, allowing any excess water to flow freely from the drainage holes, then wait until the potting mix is dry again. Depending on your home's temperature, humidity, and the season, this is usually every two to three weeks.

Too much water is the quickest way to upset a Kalanchoe, leading to soggy roots, yellowing leaves, and rot. On the other hand, if the leaves begin to wrinkle or feel softer than usual, your plant is probably ready for a deep watering. These cheerful succulents thrive in bright light and don't need extra humidity, making them wonderfully low-maintenance houseplants.
