Description
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Kerinci' is a bushy, evergreen, succulent perennial up to 1.5 feet tall. This kalanchoe variety shows off clusters of rich pink flowers in winters. The flowers last for at least 6 weeks.
Environment
Kalanchoes are fairly low-maintenance plants which need plenty of bright light to avoid the plant becoming leggy; windowsills can be ideal. They also prefer well draining soils and potting mixes. Be careful not to over-water and allow the plant to dry out between waterings to avoid rot. Be sure not to leave them sitting in water. After flowering cut off spent blooms to promote fresh new growth & will keep the plant looking neat.
Landscape Use
These make magnificent house plants and they are ideal in containers, baskets, along borders and edges and will brighten up any table.
