This undemanding and easy to grow house plant looks wonderful when its upright, branching stems are virtually smothered in flowers. Emerging from salmon coloured buds, the young petals have a tangerine flush, but as they mature, they turn a soft, rose pink, which creates a gorgeous, bicoloured effect.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
How to care for Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Serenity Bicolour Pink (PBR):
Allow the compost to dry out between watering. Water thoroughly allowing any excess water to drain through into the bottom of the tray or pot cover, then discard any excess fluid. Never leave the plant sitting in water. These plants do well in temperatures from 12°C to 25°C, but keep them away from draughts. To prolong flowering cut off the dead flowers, and pinch out any leggy stems to keep the plant compact. Feed with a liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks through the summer months.
