Kalanchoe Brevicalyx

The life plant thrives when it gets plenty of sun exposure for healthy growth. However, it can also manage with moderate brightness. It originates from a place abundant with sunlight, thus getting too much of it can cause the leaves to scorch. Conversely, insufficient light can result in elongated growth and diminished leaf hues.

Life plants originate from tropical regions and flourish best in temperatures between 20 and 38℃ (68 to 100℉). Regular hydration is essential for these plants and they should be shielded from direct sunlight to avoid sun scald. In colder seasons, supplementary sources of heat are advised to uphold the plant's preferred temperature range.

For the Life plant, light applications of fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season are adequate. Avoid fertilizing in winter or in summer when the plant is dormant. Cut back on feeding for plants that have been repotted, and wait a couple of months after repotting before you start fertilizing again. Fertilizing helps maintain healthy growth and encourages blooming.

While repotting the Life plant, choose a container that is slightly more substantial than its current one and ensure it has adequate drainage. Opt for a gravelly succulent or cactus blend with excellent drainage. Remove the plant from its previous pot with caution, dust off surplus soil, and reposition it at an identical depth. Hold off on watering for several days to let any damaged roots mend. Repot during spring or fall, and place it in an area with plenty of light.
