This Item: 1 x  Kalanchoe Katapifa Plant (currently not in flower)

Kalanchoe Katapifa, also known as the Madagascar widow's thrill, is a charming succulent plant with thick, fleshy leaves that are dark green in colour and have a unique scalloped edge. It produces small clusters of bright orange-red flowers that bloom in the spring and summer, adding a pop of colour to any indoor or outdoor space.

Care for Kalanchoe Katapifa is relatively easy, making it a popular choice for beginner gardeners. Here are some tips for keeping your plant healthy and thriving:

1. Light: Kalanchoe Katapifa prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Place your plant near a window where it can get plenty of natural light, but be sure to protect it from harsh afternoon sun.

2. Water: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Water sparingly, about once a week during the growing season, and reduce watering in the winter months when the plant is dormant.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to plant your Kalanchoe Katapifa. This will help prevent water from collecting around the roots and causing rot.

4. Temperature: Kalanchoe Katapifa thrives in temperatures between 15-27°C. Keep the plant away from drafts or sudden temperature changes to avoid stress.

5. Fertiliser: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

6. Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to promote new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.

Kalanchoe Katapifa can flourish and bring beauty to your home or garden for years to come.
