Plant Care

Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your Kalanchoe sexangularis. It appreciates plenty of light but should be shielded from harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A south or east-facing window with filtered sunlight is ideal for indoor cultivation.


Temperature: Maintain a warm environment with temperatures between 60-80Ā°F (15-27Ā°C). This succulent is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below 50Ā°F (10Ā°C).


Watering: Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, typically once every 2-3 weeks, or as needed, depending on the season and humidity levels. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.


Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. A mix with good aeration and drainage is essential for the health of Kalanchoe sexangularis.


Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil. Make sure the pot is proportionate to the size of the plant to avoid excessive moisture retention.


Fertilization: Feed your Kalanchoe sexangularis sparingly with a diluted, balanced, liquid succulent fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant season (fall and winter).


Pruning: Prune your succulent as needed to maintain its shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. This can help encourage bushier growth and enhance its appearance.


Propagation: Kalanchoe sexangularis can be propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a day or two before planting them in well-draining soil.


Pests: Keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids. If you notice any infestations, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
