Calandivas Care




We are in love with these calandivas that just arrived. They remind us of summer and are so easy to take care of. They thrive in a more sunny location and do very well indoors. 

Calandivas are part of the kalanchoe family and originate from the Netherlands. They should be watered infrequently and allowed to dry out slightly between watering. Make sure your container has proper drainage so the roots are not sitting in water.  Soil sould be more consistent with a sand base. 

As the flowers die off, pinch or cut them off to encourage new growth. During the resting period, you don't have to water the plant as much. They prefer a dark place to re-blossom.  When you start to notice new buds, bring the plant back to its sunny area.

Here at Bank of Memories & Flowers, we have these beauties in white, yellow, light pink, fuchsia, red and orange shades.  Stop in to take a peek!
