Kalanchoe Blooming Season. Generally they need long nights short days to bloom which means 6 weeks of 14 hr nights and bright light during the day. The kalanchoe likes to enter a dormancy period during the wintertime.
Getting a kalanchoe to bloom again requires a rest period for the plant and then tricking it into thinking it is a different time of year. Rich deep jade green leaves are the perfect frame for the brilliant floral display. You have seen them blooming merrily in brilliant shades of red pink orange yellow and white at the home store or supermarket.
The genus kalanchoe includes more than 100 species of plants but only a few are regularly seen in cultivation.
Rich deep jade green leaves are the perfect frame for the brilliant floral display. The genus kalanchoe includes more than 100 species of plants but only a few are regularly seen in cultivation. The reason for this is the problem that a second bloom is apparently difficult to achieve once the kalanchoe has bloomed it is often difficult to have another bloom the following year. Its natural blooming season is late fall to early spring.
