Exposure & Location

Kalanchoe Rosalina Don Justino needs plenty of bright light to maintain its generous flowering. The more light it receives, the more abundant and lasting the blooms will be.

• Exposure: bright indirect light to gentle direct sun (avoid harsh midday sun).
• Ideal: south, east, or west-facing windowsill, bright veranda, bright office, or sunny balcony.
• Temperature: 15 to 25 °C, tolerates moderate variations.
• Substrate: very well-draining, cactus and succulent potting mix with perlite.

Verdeia tip: to encourage new flowering, place the plant in a cool spot (15-18 °C) with less light for 4-6 weeks after blooming.

Watering & Care

• Watering: low; allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings.
• Frequency: about once every 1-2 weeks in spring-summer, once every 3-4 weeks in winter.
• Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and very well-draining substrate.
• Humidity: tolerates dry air, no misting needed.
• Fertilizer: once a month during flowering with diluted liquid fertilizer for flowering plants.
• Pruning: gently remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.

Kalanchoe is a succulent that stores water in its leaves — better to underwater than overwater.
